Tim MacMahon: The league does not perceive him to be, the league in terms of the people who are making decisions on trade, that the league does not perceive him to be the sixth most valuable player in the league, because in part of his contract and then this is such a like hot button issue, but the advanced analytics are not favorable to Jaylen Brown. I had another GM basically say, "Look… Brian Windhorst: Here we go… Be careful what you're about to say. That's all I'm going to say. MacMahon: It's our job to explain things whether we're co-signing not co-signing, whatever, when there's something like this that confuses the hell out of basically the media, all the fans, all of our listeners.
You saw this trade and let's be honest the initial reaction was ‘what the bleep?!’, and this other GM says ‘this is a classic case of the credit goes to the guy who scores but they're not driving team success. There's guys like this all over the league. The difference is he's not at 40 million and like a Brandon Ingram. He's at 60 million and then look, he's rounding up and and then he's going to be at 60 soon, right? And then it gets into it gets into the CBA and the cap rules and the apron.
