Yeah i do not understand. KD and Sengun were the only players who could get their own bucket. Brown would be the only one who could in this scenario. Anyone who thinks Amen/Tari/Bari can create did not watch this year.
It's very clear that Giannis prefers to stay in the East at the very minimum. Miami seems inevitable at this point. I don't think the Rockets are interested in Jaylen Brown.
Sengun and picks for Brown isn’t enough. Once you lose Sengun you need a legit C who can shoot to replace him. All I heard from this board all season was how the Amen and Sengun lineups can’t work because you can’t have two non shooters on the floor. My trade addresses that. I think Brown and Turner are better than a 38 yo KD and Sengun. Brown is younger and Turner is a better fit. FVV/Reed Amen Brown/DFS Bari/Tari Turner/Adams That’s a better team than last year and you can still try and work a DFS/Capela picks package for a bench upgrade.
Yeah, I don't see ownership / "management" / "coaching" moving off KD. Ownership to sell tickets. Management to look like stars are being acquired. Coaching because it's incompetent and wants to rely on veterans who can get their own shot (even if the entire offense bogs down). Acquiring Brown, sure, in a 3 way of some sorts, sure. Giannis going to Boston. It would explain Stone's non-moves at the deadline, hoarding picks and players for a bigger move. Obviously Sengun would have to go (he and Udoka would both probably get happy-drunk if that happened), and other parts would have to get shifted about (Milwaukee would otherwise wind up heavy on the frontline).
