Mox Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Lose the weight Zion. Also poor Buddy Hield. Jaylen Brown is getting way more despite being way worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't a damn near $30 million player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I mean Jaylen is 4 years younger than Hield and on his worst day, a vastly superior defender to Hield. But yeah, that's all I've got to justify this deal for Brown. Not a fan of it. He's by far my favorite Celtic but I'd have preferred him to play out a motivated contract year instead of possibly being stuck in this holding pattern he's been in for the last year. Dude doesn't seem like the type to rest on his laurels but maybe he's also just average. Time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopeful it turns out Brown and Tatum are both actually good but weren't allowed to be due to king kyrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jaylen but he's not Buddy and probably won't ever be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jaylen but he's not Buddy and probably won't ever be. eh, I know the postseason isn't a full season but if Brown's actual form is that of the 2018 postseason where his numbers are a bit similar to Hield's and played defense, then I think they're certainly comparable. Obviously the sample is small but I also bring it up because it was certainly the only time frame in his NBA career where he looked comfortable and in control and with all of the shuffling the Celtics have done over the past few years, I think that speaks a bit. We'll see, though. Dude is young, and Ainge is gambling on the future. Bad deal for what we've seen so far but could work out, we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I was at mentally when the Wolves handed Wiggins his extension Obviously the deals aren't comparable because 1) Wiggins was given more and 2) Brown is the complete opposite personality of Wiggins (he cares about basketball) but I've been in that frame of mind before.

I been tryna told em that we've seen these types of deals fail more often than not but I also trust Ainge not to blow it. I have faith that Brown will take a step forward. Possible he won't live up to 115 mil but I think he'll be an all star this year. He's a dawg. That said, boy would I have rather paid Brown 115 mil than Horford 128 in the same time frame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Pels need to sit Zion as long as needed. Get that knee 100%, get him in tip top shape, maybe get him dietitian (if he doesn't already have one) and release the beast whenever the time is right. Whether it's Christmas time, near All Star weekend or next season, bring him back when he's completely 100% (knee wise and conditioning wise). This is why they brought in Aaron Nelson. I have full confidence he, David Griffin, the FO as a whole and Zion and his team will do what's best for the longterm of his career. If it was the old training staff and front office, I'd be far far more concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'd rather have Hield, especially at those prices. I don't hate Brown and think he will continue to develop into a last season Pacers level Lance Stephenson (slightly more scoring, not quite the rebounder or playmaker), but I wouldn't have bet that much on him.

seminoles1 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thoughts on the other extensions? Sabonis: 4 years, $77 million Taurean Prince: 2 years, $29 million Dejounte Murray: 4 years, $64 million Malik Beasley didn't get an extension...future Grizzly!

Not sure there's a ton of upside there, but when Julius Randle gets 3/$62.1M then I'd easily fork that over to Sabonis. Prince seems team-friendly. Meh on the Murray deal.

Someone would’ve offered Brown that deal and we would’ve matched anyways. Better to save the hard feelings. It’s definitely an overpay for the player he is currently. Danny is paying for what he hopes he becomes which I feel like generally doesn’t work out, time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
