This "might" be how management is looking at Jaylen Brown....
BTW, I understand if you don't like his game, but, a trade would mean that management also doesn't like his game.
The goal is a title and management has two all stars, both young with further growth hopefully, coming to their games.
I remain in the "this is not the year" group, but hope they win a title anyway as my first game at the Garden was in 1964 and you never know.
The following season (2022/23), management will go all in, which means, they have been planning on going all in for maybe two years now.
Brown is a valuable asset who could be traded and get a significant return.
Brown is "easy to keep" as he is a strong defensive player who "can switch onto anyone and does" but also, is a strong offensive player.
If they're are going to trade Brown for a "max" player? My guess would be next year.
Will management make moves this year? Yes as they are setting up for the years after this year.
I'm sorry that Tatum isn't carrying the team, but, he is too young. This age issue is taking care of itself as each day passes.
I think Beal would be great in Boston, but, I just don't think he is "the plan." If management is going to trade Brown, it will be for front court. All of the great Celtic's teams had star power in the front court, ask the Milwaukee Bucks about having talented bigs in the playoffs.
