I think it’s fair to suggest that everyone is a little on edge today.
Let’s start there.
None of this “steps to success” Giannis bullshit.
If it were to happen, it’s a failure and a big one at that.
When you underachieve as the Celtics have done through 3 games, of course the hot takes follow.
You don’t hear it when you win and it’s all you hear when you lose.
You couldn’t go a day without hearing about how the Celts had to break up Tatum and Brown.
When they turned it around, Perk suddenly changed his tune.
Just a few months ago we heard him declare how Jaylen had surpassed Tatum etc.
Now, we’re back to this.
Break up Tatum and Brown and trade Jaylen for a 33 year old Damian Lillard.
I should have just let it go.
I mean this is part of Perk’s role.
He’s the one on TV, not me, so it should be expected to some degree.
Sadly, I couldn’t.
Before we go any further.
Just think critically about what he is suggesting.
Damian Lillard is a hell of a player.
A Top 75 team guy.
Keep in mind, if Jaylen signs a supermax, he cannot be traded for one year.
As it’s possible for you to see, Dame makes $45M.
That would be insane.
What problems does this trade solve?
I mean, he was a part of the only title my eyes have ever seen.
I guess that’s the beauty of Twitter in 2023 though.
The beauty of sports is everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Often times, I get tweeted things that I disagree with, and I try and explain why.
If that’s me acting like what I say is the Gospel…OK?
As with anyone who gives opinions on sports, sometimes you’re wrong.
I’m wrong all the time.
That’s part of the gig.
Even still, Perk was unable to give me an answer
This is where Perk and I agree.
It IS about winning championships.
What championship experience does he have?
To me, there is only 1 reason you trade Jaylen Brown.
If he turns down any sort of extension, whether it be the supermax or something else.
Remember, Jaylen was the best Celtic in the NBA Finals just last June.
This is not to say the Jays are “too young”, because they have proper NBA experience.
This is not their first rodeo.
The whole point of committing to that duo is not to bail on it right before that happens.
In the end, this is the bang out of stuff that happens when a team is down 0-3.
But as they say, all it takes is one
