While it looks like we are entering an NBA that leads to one superstar-level talent surrounded by stars in their respective roles, compared to the superstar duos, Big 3s, and superteams of the past. Teams are now opting for flexibility, making it critical for organizations like Boston to adapt.

I feel a lot of people are either blinded by their emotions with the Brown trade or are just jumping at the latest opportunity to hate on this team. Honestly, right now that’s fair. In other words, people are talking out of their asses. Jayson Tatum, like Brown before him, will be due for a monster season.

By the time you are reading this, the trade is now finalized as of Monday, July 6th, as with all the subsequent free-agent signings and trades around the league so far. I still am very upset.
