Jaylen Traded to PHI for PG, 2 First Round Picks & 2 Second Round Picks

[0003323344]

The Celtics went from +700 to +1200 on FanDuel to win the championship next year. Fire Brad!

[Larry for 3]

If we replace Brown with George, Robinson, and a TPE player, then we will be a better team this year.

That's a fact.

lol. Keep telling yourself that.

The 2028 pick Boston is getting, or swapping, with the Sixers is kind of complicated.

Boston could get Philadelphia's pick if it lands 1-8. If that pick is 9-30 it's gone from the Sixers in a complicated swap that involves multiple teams.

If the Philadelphia pick is 9-30, then Boston could get the most favorable of their own pick and the LA Clippers pick that Philadelphia owns, with the less favorable pick staying with the Sixers.

I think that's how it will work out. More to come when it's all been sorted.

Surely something else is going on that we don't know about. There is no way that Stevens goes from mostly a very good GM who has made many very good player acquisitions to this trade that makes absolutely no sense. Keeping Jaylen for the time being would have been way better than this, which looks like an effort to become a weaker team.

(The only explanation is the owners deciding to save money, which would be a very disconcerting red flag .............. though they were willing to pay Giannis' salary ?)

Well, one other possible explanation is that the relationship between brown and the team became unsalvageable, but that doesn?t make this trade any better.

Could be, though ESPN broke this story on their 6pm Sports Center and their NBA talking head repeatedly insisted that Brown was not asking to be traded.

I have absolutely no interest in going to any Celts games at this point.  Let other idiots pay those ridiculous ticket prices for an inferior product.

[0003323344]

Not as bad as Luka to the Lakers but right up there! Fire Brad!

[celticinorlando]

I guess this year is the gap year.

[Kuberski33]

1. Brad absolutely fumbled the Giannis deal by low balling them
2. Had no plan B after burning the bridge
3. They do not want to pay JB the extension

4. The picks are WORTHLESS

5. Saddled with an old, injured piece of crap Paul George

6. Made your rival a serious contender

Brad Stevens should be fired. This is the worst deal the Cs have made in decades

They won't get 50 games out of PG

The picks are worthless. This was a get Jaylen off the team at all costs and asap move. Maybe the worst deal in franchise history - even worse than the McAdoo trade that almost caused Red to join the Knicks.

Wasting Tatum's prime years.

This is horrendous.

PP
White
PG
JT
Robinson

That is a play in to low seed in the east at best

Not defending this abysmal trade, but the roster at present if healthy is better than last year at this time, clearly better.

I'm surprised. I don't like this deal.
George has been performing way below his prime in Philly. He's 36 yo. and has had a lot of down time the past 2 years.
So they got a couple of no.1s., but they won't be high no.1s with Philly on the upswing.
What's going on in Boston?
Have the hedge funders seized the purse strings like they have at Fenway?
This doesn't improve the Celtics.

We will see. I think losing JB's scoring and adding a broken down mule in PG is a big step back.

[hodgy03038]

Worst trade in Celtic history.

[radiohead]

This might actually be worse?oh boy. There must be a second part where we ship PG for another guy. But why did we make our main rival better?!?!

[0003323344]

Don?t forget PG was suspended 25 games last year.

[chicagoceltic]

As a long time member of the JKJB club I am not happy with Brad Stevens.
