This narrative of “can they or can’t they play together” is always forcibly pushed into a black or white scenario and that’s why it’s such a circular conversation. The truth, like with many things, lies in the gray. Many things can be true without them being mutually exclusive from each other.

For example, I don’t think Tatum and Brown are the best versions of themselves playing together out there. Why? Because they like doing so many similar things and thus they occupy the same “spaces” on the floor. This is why it can look like “your turn, my turn”.

But what’s also true is that the team plays better when both are on the floor. Why? Because they’re legit all stars and talent has a way of being able to play with talent.

So it’s not that they CAN’T play together. They can. And the team is better for it. But it also doesn’t mean that there couldn’t be a player out there, who is also all-star caliber, whose style can better fit alongside one of them too.

If I had to choose, Tatum is the overall better player and so I’ll build around him. Both JB and JT present equal build-around challenges anyway.

Trade Brown. I want a king's ransom back tho.

Trade Brown. Tatum at 23 years old has potential to be a monster in a few years. When he reaches his full potential, then you sign a free agent that actually compliments his play.

For trading Jaylen, I would be happy to get a solid veteran PG with some size and a good youngish wing or even a PF who can shoot the ball to spot start and come off the bench. 

WARNING: This is my opinion and is not meant to insinuate disloyalty to any player or organization.

 

Neither

Got about three guards and wings to trade plus Al   , there has to be a way to lure a decent starting guard to join JaysRob core.

Trading Rob, Tatum and Brown is a step backward unless there is prize bigger , and right now those prizes aren’t leaving their teams .  Everybody else is in play for me.

I m not sure Ime is a top player draw coach .
