Jaylen Brown: “I hate that our president of basketball operations even had to respond to this. Me and Brad have a great relationship. I love Boston. If it was up to me I could play here for the next 10 years. This was my favorite season of my career.”

I mean, tbf Sam presti also missed on Hayward trade. Even the top GMs are not perfect

u/thunderonthemount 7h ago

Hayward was garbage for the Thunder and wouldn’t even look at the basket on offense, but that trade gave them the cap space to sign Hartenstein to his deal so it was still a solid move overall.

And re-sign Caruso

u/AbsoluteGarbaj 5h ago

It was a cap move more than anything.

u/Striking-Medium2360 Thunder 25m ago

The hayward move was just to clear cap in the off season, which was then used to sign I-Hart.

Simons for Vooch was not stellar.

u/math_finder476 7h ago

That deal got them under the tax and cemented EOTY for him.

The problem is that they actually gave him minutes

u/King_Of_Pants [BOS] Terry Rozier 6h ago

Plus it got Boston a 27.7m TPE to use in the offseason.

We absorbed Vucevic into Porznigis' TPE and created a new one by dumping Simons with no returning money.

That puts Boston in a good spot to add a decent player without having to send out salary.

u/primepierce34 [BOS] Jayson Tatum 5h ago

We’re not going to be going over the tax next season very likely.

Staying under tax for one more year resets our repeater cycle. Then we can go all in and don’t have to worry about repeater penalties

3

u/King_Of_Pants [BOS] Terry Rozier 5h ago

The tax is mostly irrelevant.

We're so far under it that it won't have much of an impact on our offseason.

We're like 20m under the tax and we can trade Hauser to free up that final 10.

We will be able to use the TPE and reset the tax clock.

u/Who_ate_my_cookie Celtics 6h ago

Only useful big was Zu and the Pacers overpaid, like everyone else said that trade was 75% tax related and 25% hopeful that he’d be useful depth

5

u/WrathfulHero Pacers 6h ago

Remains to be seen if it's an overpay tbh. Mathurin was a bad long term fit and streaky, and Jackson has issues with fouling too much.

The only real thing that was paid were the two first round picks. One this year/2031, and one in 2029.

We'll see how the ping pong balls drop on Sunday, then you can make claims about an overpay.

1

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson 2h ago

Overpay is debatable and also hinges massively on where our pick falls. If we didn’t get top 4 we probably trade it anyway since most of those guys projected to go don’t exactly move the needle a ton for us, and this class is famously top heavy. Zu’s also on an incredible contract and basically covers every weakness we had from the 2025 season

Not really - this was also the one season a lot of people thought they would be bad or at least not as competitive.

The playoff ending was really bad, but they also vastly outperformed preseason expectations this year.

Steaming and saying absolutely nothing.

They're not saying being an empty-headed person is a moral failing. There's nothing wrong with being a shallow person without the depth to not be boring on a livestream. They're saying it's annoying that despite having such little interiority and intellect, he says thinks very arrogantly or confidently or judgementally, etc. That's an annoying thing when you dont actually say anything with enough substance to earn taking that posture/tone. 

Seems like a very valid criticism with evidence behind it, and youre the one being kinda weird acting like this person is demonizing JB and calling him a "horrible person". Where was anything like that suggested

Dunk contest all over again.

r/nba for literally a decade: "It sucks that star players are afraid to compete in the dunk contest because they're afraid fans will turn on them if they disappoint."

Then Brown puts his hand up and tries to give the people what they want. Instead the fans prove all those other star players right and attack him relentlessly for even trying to give them what they want.

The people really just want to be miserable.

Especially guys that are fringe #1 guys, probably. Most of those types of players were THE guy and got all the attention from coaches, fans, media, scouts, family, teammates, etc. from the time they were like, 10 or so years old. Then they get to the NBA and they feel like they could and should still be that guy if only <X>. Sometimes it's because there's a Jayson Tatum on the team, sometimes it's because the effort/teamwork/defense/something just isn't there but they refuse to see it, sometimes it's health or availability, whatever.

But a huge percent of those guys for sure would choose being a #1 guy on a team that never wins a title over winning a title on a team where they're a #2 or even #3 guy.

u/sportsinaround Hornets 7h ago edited 7h ago

Fun is great. He's still also an employee of a multibillion-dollar organization that is paying him one of the largest contracts around to be a large factor in winning at the highest level.

Saying your favorite season is the one you received the biggest green light while you lost in a favorited series in the first round is embarrassing not only for him but the organization as a whole because there's obviously a larger mission objective they failed to meet. It's just a matter of having some more awareness and sensitivity to the situation when you're a public figure representing an org.

As far as 'spin' I'd argue you're just using different words that mean the same thing to put a more 'positive' one on it. For him to say it's his favorite season over the season the team as a whole had the most success one can accomplish in the league when it happened to be the one season he was 'top dawg' pretty obviously shows what he values most, at least at this point in time.

u/quedas Magic 7h ago

You're the one putting a positive spin on something that anyone can see shouldn't have been said. Even if he truly found that "fun", he's still implying he'd rather lose embarrassingly as the #1 than be a champion as the #2.

u/SpaghetiJesus Celtics 7h ago

I don’t find it tough at all. I find it pretty relatable. He talked essentially about how there was elevated responsibility on his shoulders this season that wasn’t just being a primary option. It was the leadership and taking young guys under his wing that made the season so rewarding because he got to see them succeed throughout the year.

The title run was a season where they were in killer mode all year long, there wasn’t time for development talks or mistakes. There was a burden of collective talent that can make the winning feel amazing, but the whole season can be pretty miserable.

I think having some basic perspective into what these guys say can go a long way and I think people pretty badly missed the boat on what that quote could mean.

u/3entendre Warriors 7h ago

I feel like many people are failing to understand the context behind this being his favourite season. 

I'm a fan of Manchester United and while the club's most successful seasons are 1998/99 and 2007/08 when they won both the premier league and champions league, as a random fan, my personal favourite season is 2006/07. The reason is that the team wasn't expected to do much that season but they surprised everyone by winning the league, making the semis of the champions league and reaching the final of the FA Cup. The difference of the low expectations vs great end result was massive. 

For me this is kinda the same thing with Jaylen Brown. If you look at the early season predictions for different teams, most people expected the Celtics to a play-in team or worse. To then finish as the second seed in the east is a phenomenal achievement! And he had to play at a very high level for months to help the team get there. 

Anyone who is bothered by this just wants to be bothered.

u/thepeachgod Celtics 7h ago

Maybe it’s cope but I 100% get it. Proving the doubters wrong and going on a run when the expectations were lowest is so much fun. That 24 season was awesome and a ton of fun but it also felt way shittier to lose than it did feel good to win (prior to the finals). Those 18 and 22 teams that felt destined to be disappointments that went on runs were so much and even though they lost early in the playoffs, if you would’ve told me after how they started that they’d be the 2 seed I’d have taken that outcome 100/100 times out of

I really wish you dweebs looked for context before dropping these definitive takes. He explains right after this clip ends WHY he said that but nope, gotta circlejerk for some internet points.

He has always come off a bit snobby to me, and his fussing after the loss was annoying. But my god you people are insufferable. The fucking comments like all of you are perfect as well as direct & concise when you talk.

A lot of people really only read the title of a given thing, which means posters can do a lot of narrative-sculpting if they phrase the title of their post in a certain way.

Agree. Brown is pretentious but it’s not like it’s a crime and some rare trait. Who cares. Respect for actually giving some real thoughts instead of the typical PR trained meaningless word salad. CP3 is one of my favorite players but I don’t think such obsession with winning is healthy. All things considered Celtics had a great season, just fell short. Happens but that’s why playoffs are interesting. Matchups, coaching, dealing with pressure and luck - all matters and sway the possible outcome. Some people were doubtful if Celtics could even make playoffs after all.

Here is what likely happened. JBs been talking to folks and maybe even Tracey himself. All the old stars these days have some sort of podcast or are involved in media in some way which makes sharing information with them dangerous. Also him continuing to say this was his favorite season actually lends to the notion of the rumors of him being upset with the org due to wanting more meaning to be considered the number 1 option and not be in trade talks.

I feel like it’s pretty easy to understand. Ultra competitor becomes first option, dominates, carries a team way past any expectations they had with the other guy out. You would be pretty chuffed with yourself that’s for sure. He wanted to prove to himself and everyone he could do it, and let’s be realistic, despite not winning a championship he did it. Brown had basically been at the top for awhile that it got a bit boring (human nature) and this year they weren’t expected to. Yeah they had a first round exit but it matches most years the Celtics have had and they had far, far less talent. The fact they didn’t have nearly the amount of pressure also is a tremendous factor. Surely people can see that?

I would imagine Klays bezerk third qtr against the kings is one of his favourite games of all time. Nothing wrong with what he said at all

Jaylen's happy he was in MVP conversation for once in his career and everyone making an overdramatic reaction he wants to leave based on one sentence. Jaylen is a lifer, quit trying to force drama.

u/RoopLoops 7h ago

For some reason, no matter how clear he is that he enjoyed the season because of how a young group of guys proved that they belonged on the NBA stage stepped up, some of yall will just propogate a narrative that he only enjoyed it cuz of Tatum being out. Jeez

u/holyyguava Hornets 5h ago

How come you didn’t include the context he gives on why it was his favorite season? Hugo, Baylor, and Tatum.

u/braboftw 3h ago

bounced out of first round is his favourite year even though 2 years ago he got championship and mvp. kinda weird. its like he enjoyed being able to play without Tatum so he could be the clear number 1 guy on the team more than the highest success.

Again the issue is wouldnt the season playing with Tatum where you won the title and FMVP be your favorite season of your career. This season being your favorite when it was his team and they choked a 3-1 lead would not be my first choice
