Say they don't win a ring in 2 more years you wouldn't want them to try and trade Brown while he's still under 30 and they can still get a big return for him and try to pair Tatum with another star to see if Tatum and another star can win it all.

[@TheOuttaPocketVarietyShow]

I grew up a Lakers fan, but I was a fan of KG and Ray Allen. Then when I saw them go to the Celtics, I felt conflicted. Years later, you see Marcus Smart at Oklahoma State (for me personally, the only bball player from there I ever saw ball out like him) end up in Boston. Jayson Tatum ends up at TWO programs I hate (Duke and the Celtics) but I'm a fan of him. I didn't watch JB in college but after seeing him these past few years, you can't help but respect his game. Again, I feel conflicted. I can never be a Celtics fan or buy Celtics gear. But dammit, the respect is there for these guys here.
