Thank you private equity.
Anything that he gives us is just a bonus. He’s largely here as an expiring contract next year to trade.
This is the answer. I think PG will fit in well while he’s here but I doubt he’s here long term.
My feelings might be different if this was intended to be a championship roster, but it isn’t. This was always gonna be an under apron year for the team so it’s hard to be too angry.
The valuation yall put on an expiring as a trade asset is utterly insane
The value is matching other salaries and giving draft picks without giving up multiple good players.
Yeah that’s a pu pu platter that isn’t gonna get you anyone the caliber of JB or close to it.
When is the last time an expiring was dealt for anything of value?
New nba now with the 2nd apron penalties. An expiring 56M contract alone is valuable
When’s the last time a big expiring has been flipped for anything worth anything?
it wasnt. delusion
Optimist view: it’s trending down for the past 3 years. BUT it would’ve been higher had he been not suspended for PED use(?) And also consider this, he broke his leg like a decade ago, and is still playing good basketball! If we get 55-65 games from him + playoff availability, and plays complementary to Tatum, White and Pritch, then all is well! #Banner19
Performance Gear 13 better be juiced for his first home game in the garden
But hey he’s now in his super late 30s and on peds which you just got caught for so I’m sure he’ll be healthy now /s
I know and brown was a workhorse. Tatum is missed three of the last four playoffs including the elimination games in three of those.
Including last year game 7.
It wasn’t for the Luca trade you can make a plausible argument that brown for Paul George is the worst trade in a generation.

PG isnt due a 3yr extension. Have fun telling Brown no and expecting him to show up to work happy.
Jaylen is a pro with 3 years left on his deal, woulda been fine for this year
Huh
Why are you thanking private equity?
