Correct me if I’m wrong. I understand he’s eligible for the supermax but doesn’t the Celtics still have to offer him the supermax ?

Yes and Yes. 5years/$295 million

Exactly.  There's a lot to like about Jaylen Brown and I really like him too.  However, a lot of people are in love with his game in a vacuum and are ignoring the bigger picture.  He's already on a team with a better offense, better defense, better veteran depth, and a consensus top 10 All-NBA player...and they needed 7 games to get to the ECF's that they're about to get swept in.  He's not going to make us magically better and certainly not if we gut the team to get him...if this is even a thing.

While I agree with you in principle....

I will say this...

We don't know what he becomes playing next to Trae and we don't know what Trae becomes playing with him.

It's like arguing Shaq leaving the Magic for the Lakers.   You could use your very same argument but it would be wrong.  Shaq had a better team with all the fixings in Orlando.. but won 2 chips playing in LAL.

The second part.. him making us magically better?  I can't say that he won't.   He's a better fit with Trae.  A bigger version of DJ that knows how to drive and create fouls.   A true 26 ppg player.  A better perimeter defender. 

But the real question is.. how good are we under Snyder?

I will go out on a limb and say we win 50+ games for the next 3+ seasons (hopefully more) but Quin sets the system and generally his teams win, specially in the regular season, his next challenge is much like when Bud got a gig with the Bucks, the next level of getting over the playoff hump. He has gone through a lot experience wise as a head man with the Jazz so, he’s ready to take that step I believe.

Oh so you just had to make sense???

we can’t dream a little???

geeezzzzz

lol!

This is typical LA / Knicks scuttlebutt.  Probably a positive that Trae is seen as worthy of making up BS rumors like this.  Kyrie seems potentially viable but Trae is a LMAO type of name drop.

I woke up to a good laugh.

I don’t know what it takes… but y’all ain’t got it!  

[Spud2nique]

AND NO… not for

Ant Lonnie, 7 first round picks. 

[Spud2nique]

I don’t think the Lakers are following the necessary steps for grief. Sadness is on the list they lost less than 12 hours ago.

Calm down and take it first.  
 

Then try to attempt to be ridiculous in trade aspirations.

[Spud2nique]

Please don’t ….

The internal discussion in the Lakers front office brass.

Jeanie Buss- Can we get Trae

Rob Lowe the GM- No we don’t have assets

Jeanie Buss {leaves the room}
 

Internal discussions over..

Agree though I wouldn’t trade your boy OO in any package for him.

The issue with awful Laker rumors is the other awful rumors that will come from teams like, we want to r@*e Atlanta too. Even if it's means nothing at the end of the day, we are trying to build a contender, we need good press to land good players in addition to what we already have

And trying to explain to people, not on this forum, who casually follow the Hawks that Trae Young is not going to the Lakers and having to explain why 100 times.

Well, doesn't he not get alone with his teammates. He's empty stats. Etc etc. 

If hes all of this, why do you want him. Here's JC instead and give us your best player
