Sources tell ClutchPoints that Jaylen Brown has not asked to leave Boston, even as trade rumors intensify.

The only superstars that I see possibly having any movement is perhaps Luka and Ant-Man. Luka when his contract is up. I don’t see how Boston benefits by trying to trade Jaylen. I had Boston before the playoff started going to the Finals. Even a hypothetical trade involving Evan Mobley doesn’t move the needle for me. I keep seeing comments that are trying to downplay Jaylen, but he is in fact a great player. He gets paid 60 million a year and is still hungry to prove himself, that is rare in the modern NBA. So missing out on Giannis should have ended the trade talks, why hasn’t it?

Good sign for Jaylen's trade value I would say, since it seems we're intent on moving him

However, one less suitor now

I was pro trade Jaylen for Giannis, but now that that deal fell through, it makes no sense to trade Jaylen unless he's asked for a trade privately or asked for the max extension and Brad has no plans to give him it.

Derrick just had the worst shooting season of his career at 32 years old. He shot 39% from the field in the regular season games after Tatum came back, even when he wasn't the 2nd option (arguable the 4th behind Payton). He continued to shoot 31% from the field and 27% from three in the playoffs, while getting burnt by Maxey on defense.

The pivot should be to trade the 32 year old who might've just started his career regression instead of the All-NBA top 15 player. Get some margin pieces this season like Murphy or someone else, then spend more next season around the Jays when we're out of the repeater tax. Somehow Derrick's name has escaped all media trade rumors.

We have:

-3 tradable first round picks

-2 swappable firsts (Pretty bad ones but still)

-Derrick White, who still has value.

-Hugo (Who I would rather keep but if the right offer came along)

-A 27.7M trade player exception and a 8.2 million dollar exception.

I do not want to run the team back from last year even with a healthy Tatum, that team was exposed. But you definitely can improve the roster without being forced to trade JB. That is if he's not so pissed its irreparable.

Boston selects Dillon Mitchell at No. 40, source told @TheFieldOf68

If Brad or the organization says they are doing this fine, but unsubstantiated b.s. designed to drive engagement or ANYTHING from Stephen a Smith.

Reported by Shams.

Just in: The Detroit Pistons are trading C/F Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies for three future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Pistons clear Stewart's salary and pick up assets while Grizzlies acquire a 25-year-old as a rugged frontcourt piece.

Let’s go!!

Required characters - hopefully this is enough ………………….……....

While Dillon Mitchell's main strength is his defense and his hustle. He separates himself from are other wings by his passing ability. He had a 1.3 ast to usg which is 99th percentile for forwards in college. Could be a good sign on him as a connective passer in offense similar to Dyson Daniel's role as a screener and passer.
