After game one, in which the Celtics won by, like, 30 points, David Thorpe wrote for TrueHoop.com, he said, "Hey, I've been talking to agents and players and coaches and execs around the league, and if I've learned anything, it's that Jamal Mosley is gonna be fired after this series, and two, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are done
."

He said, you know, Joe Mazzulla said multiple times this postseason, you know, "We got good quality shots, we just missed them."

Brad Stevens said, "I don't think we got quality shots."





Tell joe no more of this forced garbage three game and go trade for giannis.

 

FIRE JOE NOW!

Well, if David Thorpe says it it must be true.

It doesn't make much sense to me that a reliable source would know this for certain first of all and second of all share it with David Thorpe.  But... that's fine with me if it's true.  In fact, if there is real friction there, I'm all for them being done here.  I'm hopeful that they want to continue to be Celtics together, but if not, that's fine.

After game 1 is kind-of weird. Things could have been happier in Celtics land at that point. And why is this being shared now?

Guess it's just a wait and see approach now. And we have a lot of waiting to do since we were knocked out so early in these playoffs

This is one of those things David Thrope could not possibly know, because they only people who do know would be Jaylen/Celtics Org and they probably don't even know what the future will be as of right now. And IF THEY DID KNOW they wouldn't be telling David Thorpe.

This is the same report we see every offseason, I can summarize it as follows:

"An unknown number of people without inside knowledge but connected to the NBA are speculating...."

And look, it's not worth nothing but take stuff like with a massive grain of salt.

not worried about that speculation with brown unhappy. i doubt that as well but he very well could be traded. and brad could be mad. 

im hoping brad's quote is true and he chewed joe out up one side and down the other.

Where there?s smoke there?s fire. Tracy Mcgrady said they have issues too. And Vince agreed. You don?t think agents and others talk. Where do you think Shams gets his info from. Would you be shocked if Brad Stevens or someone close to him was saying as such? Don?t be naive.

I?m not saying it?s true but there?s a lot of smoke here. It?s very possible and didn?t come out of nowhere. After all, this was Brown?s favorite year, just ask him.

This just feels like a reporter guessing, almost like all the recent years too especially around 2021 and 2022 in the offseason or in-season and during the Durant rumors

Why is he guessing? Do it seem to you that Brown would perfer to have is own team where he is the number one option ? And that other agents would have heard this? You don?t think informed people in the NBA hear this ? Just as an example someone like Rich Paul ? Not him obviously but you see what I?m saying ?

Then they tell a reporter? Happens all the time.

You asking all these questions kind of proves the point lol, no one truly knows and everyone is just saying stuff or "what they hear". Btw, a lot of this same stuff was said between 2021-2023, especially after the 2023 Game 7 ECF. Jaylen was still here after that. And with respect to Thorpe, I need to hear someone like Shams or Stein report this too before I take it seriously.
