John Karalis @johnkaralis.com · Jul 1 In a shocking move, Jaylen Brown has been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first round picks, and two second round picks. It's a very confusing, underwhelming return for an all NBA player. Here's my initial reaction.

I feel done with this team.
Hope they flip PG for more picks.
They traded JB for $100M in dead cap space over 2 years and NO return when PG becomes a UFA. PG was a great player, now he is a part time player
I don’t get this at all. Gifting Philly a championship core next 5-7 years. For What? An expiring contract and two first round picks in 28 and 31? What does that give you? Should have gone all in on Giannis or held onto JB. You could trade him later if needed. If I’m Tatum. I want out.

I trust Brad
Paul George is clinically allergic to winning. He's the definition of a scrub. Can you *imagine* the team the Sixers would have had, last season, if they'd gotten their 50 million dollars back to spend on anyone else? And now they have Jaylen Brown next to Maxey. This is bananas.
They can pack sand . Cheap loser bastards. Total betrayal. Total incompetence. Executive failure of the century.
Sorry John, but I'm gonna be taking a break from the Cs and the NBA while I process this. On a positive note, this will be a huge boost to his brand and business ventures. He will not lose much in the MA market and make gains in another major market in the north east.
😞😞😞
I think you should have @dangercart.bsky.social on a future episode to discuss how much the CBA has affected things bsky.app/profile/dang...
Garbage draft picks and an Over-the-hill player. The worst trade in Celtics history. It really sucks all the life out of this upcoming season. They are now run like a hedge fund. Absolutely heartbroken.
It’s horrific and disheartening
Help me understand.
I don’t understand any part of this. I didn’t get the urgency to trade Brown, and now the Celtics are in a worse position than they were before. It’s baffling.
Jaylen did not get his own team with this one. Brad swung and missed with this one.
Seriously, what are we missing? It makes no sense.
Unless this is the start of a bigger move, I’ve lost all faith in Brad and the front office. New ownership group is off to a shit start. At least John Henry won 4 and Wyc won 2 before selling and/or cost cutting. If this is the whole return, that’s malpractice of the highest order.
Not just confusing, it's disgusting
