Jazz Pushing For Jaylen Brown

[Basketball Novice]

The target isn't the issue the timing is. If Giannis or another top 10 player becomes available then eff the timing... we ball. JB is like top 20-25ish. We just ain't ready.

The opportunity won't wait for us to be ready to take it. Jaylen Brown is only available now because Tatum went down and the Celtics are in cap trouble. The opportunity won't be there in a year. The only question is, are we willing to take the plunge now and do we believe Jaylen Brown has another level to his game.

I agree with everything except your feelings on him. I think he’s someone who could take a mini leap as the #1 guy.

We will find out if I’m right on that one way or the other.

Maybe, he'll get his chance next year in BOS or elsewhere to prove it. I don't really think he's much better if at all than the Siakam/Ingram/Trae/Sabonis/Lauri level of player that is seemingly always available or in trade rumors. And I don't think you're getting Brown for 3 bad firsts like you could with Siakam.

I will say it’s a year too early though. We need to just be patient for one more year.

Trust me you'll only need to do it once to learn the lesson

Yep, the Conley trade

Yep, the Conley trade

What irks me about that trade is that we also gave up a 2nd, that turned into the 31st pick in this draft. That pick could have come in very handy.

Key's put up some nice stats. Here's where I fell off the Key train: First the pouting and the apparent unwillingness to play D at times last season. Also in his rookie season when he hurst his foot and was out a few games, the Jazz suddenly started to look like world beaters when Kris Dunn took his place in the lineup. I realize Key would just be a senior in college this fall so there is time to get his mind right. For her article Sarah had to have had some intel from the Jazz FO. I doubt this is a stream of conciousness piece

On the one hand, the Jazz were telling players to play hard and prove themselves. On the other hand, they were trying to take a 37-win team down to 17 wins by being a bottom defensive team. Keyonte knew the game being played, and I think it affected him.

Yep, the Conley trade

Which one?

Every Sarah Todd article is a stream of consciousness piece. . .

Maybe so maybe not, but it is an accurate reflection of the where the overall fanbase is at and Ryan knows it. There is a reason why Ainge said what he said about tanking.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Which one?

The one where we blew the Grizzlies away with such a great offer

If I had to guess, the Jazz are trying to get Brown for that Suns pick with Collins/Sexton and adding 2-3 other future first and two of the rookie contract pieces we have.

Listen, if we trade Suns pick, Collins/Sexton, George, The Sensei, and another 1st, I think I’m down. If it’s another 1st on top of it, no.

Dude, by default it would be an additional first, because our pick next year would def convey to OKC.
