NBA sources believe Jaylen Brown thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, per @colincowherd
“I had two NBA sources … two people in the league, one an executive, one a scout, say that Jaylen Brown has — it’s a disease. He suddenly thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room he’s in … You make a lot of money, suddenly you’re absolutely sure, you don’t wanna listen to your bosses, you don’t wanna listen to consultants, you don’t wanna listen to teammates.”

@MoggedByTatum you should’ve just kept him lmao he didn’t request to be traded. u could have won another chip this year if u ran it back

I know this isn’t the return everyone wanted for Jaylen, but I don’t think Boston got worse.
For this season, PG gives you a lot of the same value while fitting what this team already is a little cleaner. Better spacing, quicker decisions, more connective passing, less on-ball overlap with Tatum, and he can still create when you need him to. I think that skillset scales better around your offensive engine than Jaylen’s did.
The reality is Jaylen’s trade value had already gone down the drain. Whether people want to admit it or not, once it became obvious the relationship wasn’t getting repaired and another 2-year/$140M extension was looming, you lost leverage. Every day you got closer to that extension date, his value was only going to keep dropping because teams knew Boston either had to pay him again or move him.
The alternative was bringing him back into the exact same environment, knowing you weren’t extending him and knowing his value was only getting worse. I’d much rather cash out now than watch that situation drag on another year.
Then you add in two Philadelphia firsts, which are legitimate assets. Whether Brad keeps them or flips them in another deal, that’s flexibility you didn’t have before.
Would I have liked a younger centerpiece? Of course, this wasn’t an ideal pivot, but a fine one at that. But I don’t think this is some franchise altering loss. Boston stays at essentially the same level today, gets a cleaner fit around Tatum, avoids another massive long-term commitment, and picks up two firsts that can help facilitate the next move, you also get an expiring contract with Paul George in 2027.
This move was never going to put us over the hump, but now we don’t lose a competitive step, and have more ammo to possibly buy, frankly a lot of questions will be answered by what Brad decides to do next.

Paul George actually plays off ball defense and shoots well so he’s a better fit for the team than JB. The Celtics gonna be nice

🚨REPORT: Celtics Initially Wanted VJ Edgecombe in Jaylen Brown Trade
Per @ShamsCharania: Boston originally asked the Sixers to include rookie VJ Edgecombe alongside Paul George in a deal for Jaylen Brown.
However, the Celtics’ asking price continued to drop over the past few weeks, and they ultimately accepted a deal centered on George and draft picks.
