Worst trade of all time. Jalen Brown for Paul George,

[OAITW r.2.0]

Should have traded Tatum. Sadly, Tatum didn't help in 2025 and couldn't make the bell against the 76'ers in 2026. Big mistake, IMHO.

2. The hershell walker trade or rocky colavito were worse...maybe the trade that made the thunder

Brown's salary will put the sixers up against the apron. Once other guys get paid they are screwed.

Still think the Celtics could have gotten more but they put the Sixers in cap hell.

The Hershell walker trade was the most one sided in the NFL because Jimmy Johnson played guys who sucked to trigger escalators to better picks (honorable mention for the Ricky Williams trade).

The thunder got a gazillion picks that turned into a championship team.

3. I don't think so. The thought of not seeing Jaylen dribbling the ball off his legs while burning the shot clock

or bricking big free throws is pleasing to me.

5. He made a shitload more clutch shots than Tatum ever did.

I get what you are saying, but Tatum wasn't perfect either. Brown was more of an impact player in the Boston community than Tatum was, too.

8. both players are flawed - but Jaylen's turnovers were a constant bother. His +/- was often pretty bad too.

I've been a Celts fan since 1967 - listen to or watch every game. I appreciate what Jaylen did in many ways - but am fine with the change - the break up of the Js. It was time.

4. It doesn't seem fair to frame it that way

Celtics also got two firsts and two seconds.

I have seen lots of language mentioning the two main players but this was not a straight swap.

Still valid to criticize but the terms are not as one sided as the straight swap would imply

7. Trades picks are the only the real worth. George is a short-timer with the Celtics,

I get they couldn't carry two $300mm contracts,,,,but we'd have been a better team if they had traded Jason, IMHO, of course.

6. The Celtics were so close to acquiring

Giannis Antetokounmpo but once that trade fell through they were willing to accept table scraps for Jaylen Brown.

.and I thought the Dallas Mavericks trading away Luka Dončić to the Lakers was the worst trade in NBA History,

9. Not even the worst trade in Boston's history.

Babe Ruth still rankles.
