I want Jalen here when Tatum comes back.
00:02
If it's the end of next year or more likely the year after that,
00:05
I want him in place for when Tatum comes back.
00:09
And I'd rather have Jalen playing with him than Sabonis even.
00:13
You know, other players, Giannis and Booker to me would be different.
00:16
But I think it's going to be hard to find a player I'd rather pair with Tatum.
00:20
So, no, I don't want draft picks.
00:22
I don't want a bunch of draft picks for that.
00:23
I don't even want it for Derek White.
00:24
I think it just goes back continually to looking at what you have with Jason and Jalen.
00:30
And that it is what most teams are striving to get when they get picks like that,
00:34
when they load up like that, trying to rebuild through the draft.
00:37
And they're so early still in their careers together that to just blow it up around this injury
00:45
and not being sure about the future and a change of hands and ownership.
00:49
I just think it's way too early.
00:51
Like, it's still too early to look at that.
00:53
I know he's on this massive contract.
00:56
Jalen Brown, that is.
00:57
That contract is going to age okay once these other contracts start,
01:02
these super maxes start being given out.
01:04
And I just, I think it's still too early to look at unless it's something that is such a crazy deal.
01:10
And I'm not sure, especially when you have the new CBA and all these teams
01:13
who are really trying to get under different aprons and luxury taxes,
01:17
that there's going to be a team out there who's willing to take on Jalen
01:21
and give that much in return.
01:23
Yeah, I don't even love the idea.
01:26
We'll get to Anferty Simons and whether he's staying, going, is he on the team, is he off the team?
01:32
Like, I want him here.
01:33
I like that as a return for Holiday.
01:34
I was actually surprised at how good of a return they got for Holiday.
01:38
I acknowledge you probably got a half step worse on the floor without Drew Holiday.
01:42
But I also don't know that Holiday's a great fit on a team without Tatum.
01:46
He's a better fit on a championship contender, which is why I thought Portland was an odd trade partner.
01:51
Maybe he'll still get flipped somewhere else.
01:52
The deal's not finalized, similar to Simons.
01:55
But I could at least understand why the Celtics would say,
01:59
all right, we're going to flip him to carve out space to balance our roster and get a big.
02:03
I at least get that.
02:05
I don't get Jalen and Derek White.
02:08
I don't get it.
02:09
And if you're, especially if you're saving money on top of it,
02:12
you're already below the second apron.
02:14
You're already out of the area where you were worried about being.
