Brown is going nowhere
I have him higher in team rankings than Tatum
Its not all about talent. Brown also is fierce
If one must go. Trade Tatum
To phx: Tatum, Edwards, Gwilliams
To bos: Ayton, Bridges, Saric, two 1sts
Trading Tatum would become the worst trade in Celtics history. In the end, he will have more championship titles won then any of the players we would get back in that trade. Brown is great but he is not the end of the game playoffs kind of star who can take over consistently. Maybe keeping both is the better option. I am torn.
Has Tatum shown this?
Against the Raptors or Heat in the playoffs last season... its not like he lit them up. He was good overall
But against Heat in games 4- 6 and Nets so far. He has struggled against the length of KD
Brown unlikely can be contained... or for too long. He can score on anybody
I really don't get the need to bring down one of our star wings in order to praise the other.
We've also seen Brown get locked up before, just as we've seen Tatum get locked up before. In fact, we've seen it happen to every star player in the league over the last 10 years in the playoffs
