You know what’s funny about trades-us people who are fans, who aren’t “in-the-know” propose trades thinking what one or both of the teams want. But we have no idea, a lot of the times, where the team’s motivation is to make a move. We only see it from our perspective, and a lot of times the decision makers have different info, different knowledge, etc

With that said, I bet nobody even came close to predicting this trade, bc everyone thought the Celtics would want/get more. Boy, were we wrong. This was a crazy trade, and I find it extremely hard to imagine how the Celtics are better. At least this year. And prob for a while. I don’t think they have any idea how hard Jaylen played, and how that makes a difference, coach is able to hold everyone else accountable, and a lot of times he doesn’t bc the players 👮 themselves. And brown was a huge part in that and he brought it every night.

Wowzers. Can’t believe they all but gave him away. Incredible

Ament and Swain. That’s who I hope we draft. Does it mean we trade up to get one or both? Not sure. I wouldn’t want to give up LAC pick swap (if you can even trade that to a team other than them) DAL pick swap-those are really valuable given the new draft lottery setup. Picks further down the road we have aren’t as valuable, it appears, plus they’re protected (except SAS I think, but they’re not missing the playoffs either).
But those two players added to our core guys, I would really like to see that.

As I’m listening to this podcast, and he’s talking about Nate Ament. Casually said that, if we got Ament, he might could allow dub to play more at the 4, and dub mentioned “he’s more comfortable there.” And also said would allow Chet to play the 5. To me, that’s why I’ve been so adamant for so long. . .dub is an extreme team player, and him saying, “he’s more comfortable at the 3” means, in more plain terms, “get me the f from playing against bigs all the gd time.” And Chet is the same way.
It should be in the team’s interest to accommodate our stars, and having them play out of position is preposterous.
And the sub and others are mad at Chet (for good reason) without being mad at the team (coaching) for not playing him in the position we all know he’s best at.

And yes, I hope we draft ament and if it was up to me, it would be between him and Sorber to see who starts at the 4
