They had to he is worth more tan Buddy since he plays both ends.

[InRareForm]

I like his game, it's a lot of money but not bad all things considered

The Celtics are a great study in how quickly some pretty good plans can fall apart. Bad luck was part of it with the Haywood injury, but the personality clashes/lack of anticipation that led to Al Horford & Kyrie leaving with no compensation at all are pretty drastic. I'm sure at one point Ainge was convinced he was one offer of draft picks & players away from landing Anthony Davis and putting a championship worthy team on the floor. Now, they're not even a Top 10 team.

He's a role player they just paid star money. Hield can at least bag you 20 PPG

Granted Brown has playoff experience and can guard better/more positions, but that's not worth paying him star money. He's like a more skilled PJ Tucker.

They overpaid no doubt.
But I'd still rather have Brown he is potential high level 3 and D wing who is explosive attacking the rim. His shot is a work in progress but better chance of him improving his range than Buddy figuring shit out on defense... But hey, Buck Foston! I hope it's a disaster of a deal...

Sure, but they're not paying Buddy to be Patrick Beverley. They're paying him to withdraw them cash money jumpers like an ATM. Get buckets, baby. Fill seats. Guys like PJ Tucker/Brown can be had from the G-league.

:lmao

Fuck, almost $30 million a year for a guy with a 13.5 PER.

[apalisoc_9]

should have traded his ass for big. Maybe Sabonis.

Hes too redundant for the celtics anyway.

Buddy Hield got 86 million and hield is a better player

Dude for someone who always complains about owners throwing around ridiculous money for borderline stars how can you justify that kind of money for someone borderline average at best? Ainge overpaid hugely, at least by $25 million, maybe $35 million even. LMAO @ Ainge wrecking what was once an incredible situation.

[Joseph Kony]

lmao :lmao Heild and Murray are both better players than this scrub. Celtics are fucking retarded :lol

[lefty]

:lol Ainge

No not saying that...
You are right... I hate these deals as a fan/owners perspective.
But from his side no way I'm taking less or the same as Buddy Hield. That is what I was saying. I wouldn't pay if I was Celts especially since Tatum needs that money and Hayward already making max.

[Killakobe81]

Murray despite the injury signed a Spur friendly deal and you could argue he may be better longterm than either guy... That's a Spur win and a Klutch loss.

You said Boston had to earlier. No they didn't. They should have made him prove himself this year. Not like he could have walked when he would have been a restricted free agent.

[baseline bum]

lmao :lmao Heild and Murray are both better players than this scrub. Celtics are fucking retarded :lol

Poor Man's Draymond getting paid $15 million more than Draymond.

[Killakobe81]

I said that based on the fact that Hield who I think is solid but not great got that money. Celts were trying to get him at 4 for $80 million which is fair and reasonable when you look at it from our side...
But if I'm him I say fuck that... Because of Hield.
I do wish teams would hold fast in these negotiations but most teams are pussy.

But again it's the Celtics glad they overpaid, fuck them...

And if you're him, don't sign, and have another disappointing season and the market is only say $65 million after? Even $80 million seems a lot for Brown unless he has a breakout season this year.

[Killakobe81]

Again we agree... But based on some flashes with team USA... He and the Celts are predicting a breakout.
Now to be fair... To Celts... As bad as the chemistry was last year having Brown trying to prove his worth when sharing wing duties with Tatum and Hayward is probably not the best way to cultivate culture...

[Mugen]

I'd wait to see what Kuz ends up getting tbh :lol

Oh I agree a concern but not until next year...
He proves he is worth it on this team I'll gladly pay.

[Seventyniner]

#1 money for a #3 guy, maybe #2b if you squint real hard. Talk about bidding against yourself. Dude was gonna be a RFA next season, what the hell are you giving him this kind of coin for right now.

[RC_Drunkford]

should've let him hit the RFA market, no way anybody would've offered him that kind of deal with all the cap tied up. Would've been a lot cheaper

Agree 100%
It's one of my NBA pain points paying borderline all-stars as franchise pillars.
As Deeps point out its sorta the price of doing business or you lose talent without compensation.
But If I was in charge of the Celts, I would have flipped him for a 1st rounder prior to the draft if this was the asking price.
Kid was a top 5 draft pick iin the Simmons draft. Pretty sure they could get a lotto protected first for him.

[ambchang]

Would’ve been better off trading him for a one year Kawhi rental.

[Killakobe81]

Think they offered but Spurs wanted Tatum and I dont blame them.
IF tatum was key to an AD deal why would PATFO take less for a better player or at least similar talent?

[KobesAchilles]

I don’t understand their cap situation. They are going to supermax Tatum next year right? So you have 31 million in Hayward, 35 million in Kemba, and now 29 million in Brown. Plus the 40 million coming up for Tatum. They’re in cap hell and at best a second round team.

I hope this means the Spurs trade for Hayward tbh bc he’s a much better fit than Demar

[AaronY]

How good is his defense supposed to be? Like is he potentially a lockdown defender or just slightly above average?

[Killakobe81]

How good is his defense supposed to be? Like is he potentially a lockdown defender or just slightly above average?

I think they thought lock down but to me lock down is prime Kawhi or even Bowen who was a notch below that I think his defense is more potentially prime Danny Green level

[spurraider21]

at this point, the latter. no accolades to speak of. his D RPM was 0.10, so nothing noteworthy there. but he has the physical traits and the effort/ethic to be a great defender, and you usually dont see that. he's also still 22, so plenty of room to improve. but nah, he's not at danny green/tony allen level or anything like that right now

I think prime Tony Allen was better than Danny and Prime Kawhi better than both...

wow, if hes just slightly above average this is a face palm scenario of a deal

[Spurtacular]

I want to say I agree. But it's became readily apparent that tens of millions is not that big a deal in today's NBA.

[Spurtacular]

I've never once watched him play and even had the passing thought of lockdown defender. Is it possible I wasn't paying enough attention? Yes, but I doubt it.

Possible I guess. But it seems like the lockdown defender signs are usually there early on.

[CitizenDwayne]

My god that contract is just obscene. Wtf celtics

[TheCultOfPersonality]

That's alot of money for a roleplayer thats no elite at anything.

Horrible contract. Just as bad as the Parsons and Batum contracts.
