John Wall says Jaylen Brown was playing at an MVP level, and not being introduced last in the starting lineup when Jayson Tatum returned was a trigger point.
“Everybody thought Boston was going to be on a rebuild last year, and the way Jaylen Brown played got them there. Now Tatum comes back, and it’s like, ‘Okay, Tatum’s playing well, but he’s not playing at his All-Star level, MVP level.’
So now, is Jaylen Brown taking a back seat? Like, even he said, the first game when Tatum came back, Jaylen Brown was getting called out last every game of the season. Now Tatum’s back, he goes back to second to last.
It be those little triggering points that make people, like, go against it. I think that’s when Boston started realizing, like, somebody got to go, and it ain’t going to be Tatum.”

Ace can't give this spot back, force them to trade him.
Utah Jazz star Jaren Jackson Jr. has sustained a torn MCL in his right knee and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Jackson will not require surgery.

Durant with Sengun, Thompson: A+ synergy
This will be Kevin Durant's first time playing alongside an A+ synergy teammate with Alperen Sengun's caliber, in his career, even though Durant has teamed up with many incredibly talented players before.
The synergy between Durant and Sengun, combined with the presence of Amen Thompson and Ime Udoka, who brings an equally compatible energy, makes the Rockets an intriguing team for this upcoming season.

This one of them lies that’s so funny I had 2 stand and clap
Jaylen Brown was reportedly the one who demanded a trade from Boston and was pushing for a move to Milwaukee, per @Scalabrine
“I think Jaylen Brown lives in his own reality. But because it wasn’t being documented that he demanded to be traded, then I don’t think that anybody, anybody thinks that, that he could—now, he could say that it was Tatum’s fault.
Like, he could just make stuff up. But my understanding is Jaylen Brown went to the organization and had a list of demands. And it was like, ‘You either do this or you trade me.’
And he was rooting to get traded to Milwaukee, including calling some other teammates about, ‘Hey, man, what do you think of Milwaukee? We should go there.’”

“It’s easy to take the high road when you’re the guy still on the team.” 😳

It is kinda nuts that ppl want Jaylen Brown to respond positively to a team he recently won FMVP for thinking so lowly of him that after having his name in trade rumors for years, they finally pulled the trigger to send him to a division rival. Lol like you can’t complain about athletes being “too friendly” and ignore the obvious reason he has issues with Tatum..

fun fact: Yax didn’t start playing organized basketball until his senior year of HS with about 11 games left in the season. I’d say he’s doing pretty well for that timeline
Luka Doncic: “You’re 24 and a rookie, relax”
Yaxel Lendeborg: “You’re trash as f***… you suck!”
Luka: “Shut up, p***y.”

They told him for years that he couldn't be a #1 option and carry the team. He went and did that, and acknowledged the improvement in his game as the best year. And they got rubbed the wrong way ? Lmao thank God, now he in Philly 🚀🚀
