I think Kawhi needs to escape to China while he still can 😅

@kagami
probably the best analytically driven analysis of the brown (jb) trade
- while jb puts up points, he’s not “elite” in terms of scoring efficiency
- jb dropped a career high in assists, but he still shoots far more than “elite” ball handlers based on shots to potential assists per 100 possessions
- jb also saw his turnovers increase (a career high) and led to a much higher scoring turnover rate
based on those analytics, jb’s big year is more a product of volume and high usage than being an elite player
when you look at his super max contract, then he’s getting paid to be an “elite” player, but actually a very good one
this also doesn’t mean jb can’t improve his ball handling, efficiency, or assist ratios in philly. considering his age, there’s a good chance he could make the celtics regret trading him for pg + picks

The Celtics got absolutely FLEECED in this trade.
I actually feel bad for Celtics fans (and it takes A LOT to feel bad for them)

LeBron tells the Lakers he's not staying just 1 day after Bronny's contract becomes fully guaranteed.
The things billionaires do for a couple of millions 😅

@tldr
Got a chance to sleep on this trade, woke up feeling excited.
Subtract Julius Randle's shot attempts.
Add in LaMelo's elite passing.

Ant gives SGA and Luka a run for scoring title.
(This next year is v important for Ant signing the max extension w Wolves in 2027)
