He complements Tatum’s game better than Brown, he allows us to move Tatum back to the 3, and he improves our play in the paint with a monster who can crash the glass. Is it enough to move us over the top?

Assuming the other big move is re-signing Fournier, we’ll have a  solid eleven-man rotation with our 2021 1st, 2021 2nd, Madar, GWill off the bench:

Walker/Pritchard
Smart/Fournier/Langford
Tatum/Nesmith
KAT/Parker
TT/Timelord

I hear a lot of criticism of ideas, but I don’t see any alternative ideas. Is status quo really gonna do it? Can’t see it until Tatum turns into MJ and Brown turns into Pippen…

I'm a bit too lazy to go and compare stats of these four :] Bet they're closer than you think!

Kat seems to have great stats, but whenever I watch him play I come away underwhelmed.
Yeah we need an improvement at the 5, but sorry I am for keeping Brown.
We have two young all stars, we should build around them, not trade them away.

Trading a dollar for a quarter.

lol...just keep Tatum and Brown and find other good players to add to the roster.
It might take a couple years, it is ok if it does, JT and JB will just be better when we get the 3rd great  player.
we have to play the long game, keep JT and JB happy, and help them to improve every year.  If they do that, some talented player is going to want to come to Boston to play with them.  Stay the course.

I get the same feeling. His REAL +/- numbers are behind Brown, Tatum, and Kemba FWIW.

Don’t rate KAT. He’s a star stuffed but he comes across as soft. If people are mad at Tatum looking too chilled out they will lose their minds with KAT.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Jaylen is an all-star at the most important position in the NBA and Ayton isn't.

Maybe Ayton and Booker for Brown....
