KAT discussion

[celticsclay]

As I mentioned in another thread, I would trade for Towns now, and make the decision for Beal much easier next off-season. A trio od Tatum, Towns, and Beal seems more solid and dynamic than Tatum, Brown, and Beal.

Boston: Towns
Philadelphia: Jaylen Brown
Minnesota: Ben Simmons, Timelord

A. Philly would have to kick a lot more than just Simmons.  Jaylen's worth more than Simmons after he faded away to nothing in the playoffs.  I think a first to Minny and one to the C's would do it.
B. this only works if Beal to Boston is a done deal.  Replacing Jaylen with KAT isn't enough to get this team to the next level.   I have concerns with KAT's desire to win -- I don't have those concerns with Jaylen who has stepped up in the playoffs every year.

Jaylen is the best player in this trade and we send out TIMELORD. Count me out.

Also reports saying simmons only wants to play in California so hard to imagine Minnesota willing to trade with him, especially after the Butler debacle.

IMHO, I agree with you but I thought I was being an extreme homer in that regard.  I'm not a fan of this deal even with a first from Philly coming to the C's but I get the idea of having a top big man to go with a top Forward and a top Guard to comprise a 'big 3'.

KAT's best is significantly better than JB
