Perk thinks Jaylen Brown is "talking himself out of Boston" with his livestreams. That he is sharing too much. That this will irritate his teammates. Not the front office or ownership but the players.

Perk was saying Jaylen is "breaking the trust" inside the locker room. That if a player was doing that on any of the teams Perk was on, that the players would turn on him. Wouldn't want him around. Wouldn't trust him. Would want him gone.

About halfway through the video. The 4-5min mark.

I don't know that Jaylen is saying anything on his livestreams (I don't watch them) that would upset his teammates to that degree. I can see that happening but I don't know that Jaylen has done this.

It is funny, Naz Reid and D White are complete opposites in an key way.

D White is one of the ultimate connectivity / glue guy players that helps bring other players together and make a team. A player whose impact is greater than his raw stats.

Naz Reid on the other hand is the exact opposite. He does almost nothing in terms of connectivity / glue guy play and is all about himself. A player whose raw stats over-states their actual impact.

Yeah, I want no part of a White for Reid swap. I know some people hate advanced stats, but Derrick White led the East in +/-, had a +9.4 on/off, and was 1st Team All-Defense. And it's not like he's this consistently bad shooter, this was his one bad shooting year in years.

Guys like Reid are a dime a dozen. White is in the small echelon of extremely valuable role players with guys like OG Anunoby and Jaden McDaniels. If we trade White, it isn't going to be out of desperation, it's going to be for a legitimately impressive package.

Also, White's older, but he's only going into his 10th year in the league - same draft as Tatum - so his mileage isn't that of your typical [about to be] 32 year old.
