Was he really that mad that they felt they had to trade him for this?

Edit: To think they could have had Giannis if they just included Hugo and now they got Paul George lol

Yeah. I don't know what they're doing. I would rather Brown than Kawhi.

And that is that for the Celtics.

Seriously, why would they make that trade? Brown is, arguably, the best player on the team (and until Tatum fully recovers, there is no argument). The only reason to dump him for picks is if the team is going for a radical rebuild, except they signed Robinson to a fairly big deal.

I assume the owners do not want to pay for two max contracts. If they don't want to pay, they are not going to be able to seriously compete.

Or maybe Brown told the team he wanted out and this is the best offer they could find.

They must have completely soured the relationship with all the trade talks for years. There's no way Paul George gets them closer to a title.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

What a steal. Only 2 first round picks

Maxey, Edgecombe, and Brown is an amazing core of players. If the 6ers can add some depth around that they're looking like serious contends.

On the other hand, wtf are the Celtics doing? That's really the best offer they got?
