First of all, I want to keep Brown with Tatum and let them stay together for next decade.
Now, for those saying our window is short with Tatum at 24 and Brown, 25 years old, is ludicrous. Jordan began his title run at 28 yet somehow our two young stars who are getting better each year, have limited time window.
Now, even if we did trade away Brown which I don’t want, Durant’s contract runs out at 28 years old and it is safe to say, stars will be clamoring to pair up with him as well at that time.
We will be competing for finals no matter what. I would keep Brown as I think the next few years, he will get even better.
I can see the argument that some might be making…get Durant, make a few more finals, and in a few years, a new superstar takes his place to join Tatum in his prime. But, The injury risk for me is too great, and if Durant goes down, we are stuck. I would not make the trade due to that risk plus I love Brown’s game.
The first title of this new era should be both Tatum and Brown in Green!
