Literally better than anyone currently on our team.

Granted that is not a high bar.

His defensive ceiling is certainly higher, but day to day he wasn't a better defender than Royce. He was also on a completely stacked defensive squad where they could switch responsibilities so he wasnt always having to guard the best player.

Raise his offensive load while raising his defensive load? Not sure he can take that on and succeed like he thinks he can.

Exactly my point. Royce isn't on the team anymore. As we currently stand, Brown would likely be our best defender. That is the sad state of affairs right now.

If brown is available my guess is it would be in a KD deal. Boston should probably do that type of thing as windows are shorter than people think.

I doubt Brown is available yet, but likely will be at some point. I just want to point out that in 2017, Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens already had Jaylen Brown, just drafted Jayson Tatum, tampered their asses off to get Hayward and were still rumored to be interested in Jimmy Butler and PG13 when they were wanting out of Chicago and Indiana - that’s exactly the type of scenario DA should be looking at replicating. It’s time to start chasing long, athletic wings.

Don’t trade those 2023 picks yet. If you want to add some pieces around Mitchell - fine, do that. See what you have in the young guys. Try to get value out of the veterans. Compile and consolidate assets. Look for the big deal to come along and hope you have the pieces to pull it off when it does.
