Bill Chisholm on whether there was any sort of financial mandate from ownership:

"No, absolutely not. This was all about basically trying to win, and, I think, really trusting in our process we have. I think we have the best front office in the NBA, and they put in their work, and they came to the conclusion this was the best way for us to win, and that's the mandate: Is to win. And I just have to keep saying that there is no ?we'll spend whatever it takes to do that. The mandate is to win.?

I thought that only politicians could lie like that.

I believe him.

I believe this was a Brad Stevens trade. Not an ownership trade. I also believe it was a cap management trade rather than a basketball trade. But it was Stevens who decided this was the best route long term to put out strong basketball teams.

That Stevens did not want to pay Jaylen. That he did not want the 2 supermaxes on the books. That he did not think he could put enough quality talent around JB / JT to win another title with both on supermaxes.

------------

And to say again, Wyc has said the exact same thing would have happened if he had of remained owner as has happened with this new owner. The 2nd apron would have forced the tear down of the title winning team. The departures of Jrue & Porzingis.

-----------

This Jaylen trade = I think this is purely the basketball front office that is driving this.

He also said that the Jrue and KP deals weren't financially motivated.

He did? I don't remember that. I remember the opposite.

Chisolm?  Yes, he sure did.

Q:. Since your ownership group has taken over, fans have seen Kristaps, Jrue, Luke, Al, now Jaylen go out the door. I know you say you're willing to spend to win, but what do you say to fans who say that since your group has taken over, numerous quality players have gone out the door for mostly salary/tax relief?

A: I mean I I just would well I just don't necessarily agree with the premise there that this they were salary based. This was every decision that was made you know the prior decisions I should say that was those were basketball related decisions.

Shams Charania reveals that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown?s personal relationship off the court was ?as close to non-existent as you could have? over the last year. 😳

"It is a tale of two different people."

That happens to a lot of players while they are out injured. Maybe something, maybe nothing.
