I look at that hypothetical as keeping CJ. See if an alpha emerges between CJ/Jaylen. Or maybe they just duo alpha. Either way, much better team D when CJ is the only one you have to hide.Originally Posted by padre33
My team in the playoffs when I was young(Clippers never made it) was the Celtics. Larry was there Basketball Jesus and every one of my friends and Dad liked the Lakers on the West Coast. I have wanted to see this Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum combo through but if this trade presents itself you must do it if you are Boston. Dame has at least 3 more years of good ball and Tatum has arrived. Losing Smart would suck tho I must admit. Does this get Blazers in a better spot? Not sure but you move CJ after this deal and get young.
If Ainge was still there I wouldn't have even mentioned this. maybe Stevens won't be as gun-shy.
I would still much, much prefer keeping Dame and trying for the cj-simmons deal.
