It's getting real!
To be honest, though, Tatum needs to be on the phone with Beal now telling him that he needs to demand a trade to Boston and say he won't resign anywhere else (i.e. AD, Harden, etc.). That's the only way we'll be able to do this and potentially keep Brown. Would likely mean virtually every other asset we have, but, hey, you kind of have to do it to get the chance for all three of them together if that's the way we really want to go.
(Still not necessarily a huge fan of that threeway grouping, but at this point given where we're at and where the league is at, you have to have that level of talent to compete, even if top-heavy. As a strategist and GM, I trust Brad to put the right players around them, and hopefully Ime can make it work.)
