Jaylen Brown

What's Brown's contract status? Why is he even being asked these questions?
Next year is contract year and he is UFA in 2024 offseason. There has been a lot of speculation he wants to run the show somewhere instead... and he himself has talked about the sacrifices he makes to be 2nd to Tatum's #1.

Here's to hoping the Celtics crash and burn in the playoffs and that breaks the camel's back.

Is this really what the Jazz want
A player who has to be the #1 guy or someone who wants to win
What if he's not happy here either

Oh Brown wants to win. Thats why he has settled for #2 in Boston. But if Boston crash and burn and especially if Tatum plays bad down the stretch it might be that he feels like "**** it, let me see whats out there".

Its all a pipe dream really. But he is a 2-way star who really wants to win and who can put up 30 points every night.

Brown next to Lauri backed up by Kessler and fed by Dunn is a bright thought, especially with Clarkson on the perimeter. Of course we will have to give up some folks to do it, so maybe not Clarkson but this could be a hell of a team.

Dunn (or upgrade PG from assets or draft)
Clarkson (or upgrade SG - Ochai maybe even?)
Brown
Lauri
Kessler

Not bad. Could really make some noise. I could see this happening. Not necessarily a pipe dream.
 
What do you guys think it would take to land him?
Ochai and like 5 picks??? Likely a third team tbh that gives a player. A Beal/Brown three team deal maybe... picks going to Washington and Boston... Beal goes to Boston... Brown goes to Utah.

I don't see it happening. I think there will be rumors about it though. If he would extend I would consider it... but I doubt he would be happy here for more than a couple years.

I think this might be a NY, Brooklyn, maybe Miami (herro and all teh picks? Butler and teh picks?). Portland and NO also likely get involved.
 
I'm okay with trading for him. He could be an amazing fit. It would take a third team though. I just want us to keep ochai, Kessler, and the obvious. Dunn and Simone would be nice to keep because I don't think their value is super high but I think they can fit in here well for cheap and help us win.

He also would be an expiring contract next year, so we shouldn't trade too much, but you gotta take some risk. You need to think you have a decent chance of retaining him though.
 
I can't imaging trading what it would take to get Brown unless he would agree to an extension -- and I don't see that happening.
I could see it happening if he has a good relationship with Ainge/Hardy, and he was the clear #1 option here

Jazz don't need to take a risk on a player who is verbally expressing how he does not like playing in certain markets that limit his expression. Utah is that kind of market. We just had a superstar publicly complain about it.

Do your due diligence and ask of course, but I'd put a lot of money on the answer.
