Why the Celtics Need Jaylen Brown

Why is there so much chatter about trading Jaylen Brown? Every year since he's been in the NBA he has improved. In all honesty if you redo the draft he would be the number one pick In every year but one, his points per game have consistently gone up. This year he made his first All-Star game.

First impressions of Jaylen as a rookie indicated he was an athlete and he could rock the rim. As we have witnessed he does that and so much more. When he's on his game he's capable of carrying a team as he did this season when Jayson Tatum was out with COVID. He has the ability to get to the hoop at will, and there isn't anyone stopping him from getting to the cup.

He also has the foresight to find his teammates for open looks. His midrange game has developed very well to the point where he's automatic. You can see the work he's put in given how he can be a deadly three point shooter. Defensively given his frame, strength, and quickness, he can stop anyone in the league when he puts his mind to it.

There are so many teams who would love to have the "problem" of having two similar players in Brown and Tatum but the more talent on your team the better you are. Jaylen should be a life-long Celtic. He has that fire inside and his game gets better every year. Not to mention he said he wants this team to run more. Tommy Heinsohn is smiling down from basketball heaven after hearing that. trading JB would be a mistake. Let's give him and this Celtics team the opportunity to not only make the Eastern Conference Finals, but take that next step and hit the finals.

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S
