Roster Building From Here - FA and Summer of 2023

Jaylen Brown seems like the best case scenario IMO. Danny Ainge drafted him and he played for coach Hardy so the relationships are there.

He’s ascending (27 ppg as the #2) and he fits on the same timeline as Lauri.

The only way that it can realistically happen though is if he makes an All NBA team because he’ll become super max eligible. If he doesn’t then he’s going to wait to sign a new deal in 2024.

OG is the other guy I’d take a long look at but he might cost a lot and he’s going to be on a one year deal.

I would go all in on jaylen brown

You think if he got out of the shadow of Tatum he would become better than he is? I bet he is tired of playing 2nd fiddle as Tatum is the media darling there.
it’s possible, I mean he’s averaging 27 ppg as the #2 option. The Celtics have reportedly made him available twice in KD trade talks and might not want to give him a super max if they come up short again this year.
 
Someone talk me through how we get Jaylen Brown exactly. Super confused as to the "how?".

He is big into social justice and equality... now the conventional thinking would be to go somewhere more tolerant... but why not just throw yourself into the fight even harder than Don did... why go somewhere easy? He accepts the challenge like Rocky going to Russia to fight Drago.

Also - its a pipe dream but maybe he loves Ainge and we will have all teh monies for him. I just don't see us having a shot but by all means we should give it a try.

But to be clear, he would need to choose us after being unrestricted in a couple of years, right?
 
He is coming to contract year, DA drafted him, Celtics have reportedly dangled him in trade talks...

What more do you need?
the challenge is Brown is like the star version of OG. He fits literally everywhere... so he will have his choice of basically any destination (through sign and trade or cap space). We can and should try... but our chance of coming up first are slim to none. We might not even make his list... but again... go ahead and try.

Yes... but we've all seen that hot girl with the nerdy dude... now maybe she is a horrible person... maybe he is the funniest dude in the world and is hung like a horse. But the fact is that guy went for it and overcame the odds.

We are likely to get shot down... but go ahead and shoot a shot...

Where can he be #1 with better future / pieces around him?

I mean the city/culture change is an unknown.. would he come from big market to the mountains.. but DA knows him really well, and Hardy also.. so those could work in our favor.
 
If he makes All-NBA this year he becomes supermax eligible next summer. He aint gonna pass up signing that paper.
I would actually bet this happens. I also think him and Tatum are close so the ego stuff may not be there. I don't think Tatum has the MJ Alpha Extreme mode that would rub a #2 guy the wrong way. The difference between the two is not as big either. I think that duo stays together for a long time.

Again... we should go ahead and dream... I ain't gonna lol @YoungJefe Go on ahead and go for it... just don't plan on it ever happening.
