Brian Windhorst: "It wasn't that the league doesn't think Jaylen Brown is a great player or an excellent player, is that the league doesn't value what he produces at his salary slot ($57M). And that is why he was traded and that is why he was traded for relatively... so little"show more

This still makes no sense. There’s gotta be like 30 other players making similar money that are wayyyyy worse players 😂😂😂 including the one they traded for

Stop the cap he was a top 5 player last year and he play both sides of the ball yall just wanna try to blackball him

He produces only 29 - 7 - 5 And a Finals MVP and NBA Title (No bubble) Are you high?

That does NOT justify sending ur best player in the last 2 seasons to a rival with minimal return. Fact check that.

Windy joining in on the hit pieces is insane. That ESPN contract must be up soon.

This is nonsense. Bill Simmons already reported that the Giannis trade didn't work out because he wanted more money and the Celtics refused to budge. It wasn't that a deal couldn't get done. This is greed and disrespect on the part of Celtics ownership, pure and simple.

So then why did they trade him for a player that makes only 3 million less? The math doesn’t math.

Correct. The C’s overvalued him and it helped win a championship. They chose not to overvalue him any longer. The rest is your feelings. ☘️

Making up excuses to justify the trade same shit Luka went through FOH

@NetsDaily Much rather pay him that, then pay 37 Year old Jimmy Butler $57 Million.

paul george makes the same amount tho

I have heard it 10 ways and it still sounds stupid.

@WindhorstESPN is a buffoon. Dude is a fat fucker who came up off of LeBron. Nigga should only be talking bout donuts holes

They think that’s bad wait until they get a load of Paul George

Hilarious that in a league where every single star has been massively overpaid for max deals, suddenly every dollar has to be accounted for and earned in the stats book. When did Paul DePodesta take over?

He was traded because JT and JB can’t stand each other.

There’s gonna be no making sense of that trade.. they can stop now

Bahaha you mean like Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris ?

I’m out on the smear campaign. This is ridiculous

Ok bet, JB couldn't have landed in better situation. Philly is the city with the biggest chip on its shoulder, so if this narrative is true and thats how the league feels, then go out there and tear it up!

More bullshit Kawhi Leonard has similar money and is a fading star and got a much better package..Stevens blew it!

To be disrespectful at least tell the source. Brown gave them a championship and a run last year . He name in trade rumors and he now getting dog out . 76ers will beat Celtics

It’s because they know the Celtics burned their bridges before trying to trade him

SO YOU TRADE HIM FOR PAUL GEORGE???????? NO MATTER WHAT THESE PEOPLE SAY IT DINT MAKE SENSE

The fact they got back Paul George who will make $54 and $57 million the next 2 years makes this complete bullshit

Basically the argument is that you can sign 2 above average rotation players + have salary flexibility with his contract.

Windhorst has had about 1k theories around this situation, and 0 have been correct

This is who the league thinks he is.

@DeSmallWon Ridiculous. Dude was in the MVP race.

I would have traded Reeves in a heartbeat for a proven winner like him

The league ? Lool what the hell is this bloke talking bout ? Is he getting lesser at Philly ? It’s all Celtics .. turn down the pr volume man

His big problem is that he is terrible defender. This is why he was bad fit for the Cavs in return for Mobley. Everyone who thinks otherwise going by their “eye test” is not in the business of making NBA personnel decisions… for a reason.

Oh, so now they “NBA” is tryna backtrack that smartest in the room remark. SMH

This literally makes no sense. They turned around and picked up PG $57M contract. FOH.
