00:00Let me just give a little context to the Jalen Brown thing, though.
00:02And I know we were talking about Tracy McGrady on the podcast.
00:04That was based on the Celtics continuously shopping him.
00:09So it was like he's never been at a point where he said, I don't want to be here,
00:14other than based off of situations where they've indicated they're going to move on from him.
00:20So that's sort of the situation.
00:22And by the way, do I think Jalen Brown is going to finish this current contract as a Celtic?
00:27I do not.
00:27I think the financial burden eventually of having two Supermax guys and where they're at
00:33and the fact that Jalen Brown is going to be 30 next year,
00:36I think they will once again start shopping him for a younger partner for Jason Tatum.
00:40But it's not like he's been one of those guys who has said, oh, I want to get out of here.
00:45It's been based off the way the team has treated him,
00:49which is not as an equal partner to Tatum and shopping him in these deals.
00:53Well, fine.
00:54And his issue isn't with Tatum.
00:55It's with the dynamic of his current of his role.
00:58It's fine.
00:59These are all topics that every NBA team deals with, including this one.
01:02So can we slap a headline on that one and put it on our web?
01:05So I buried the lead there.
01:07Gasper, Colin, Brown will not finish this contract with the Celtics.
01:12How many years does he have left?
01:14Good question.
01:15Three?
01:15Yeah.
01:16Or his career will not finish his career.
01:17No, contract.
01:18He said contract.
01:19Did he say contract?
01:20I said contract.
01:21Three years left on this one.
01:23That's my gut feeling.
01:24I mean, that's not based off of anything that I've heard.
01:28I just think when you look at the finances and where they're at
01:30and with a different ownership group and how taxing it can be,
01:35both from a salary cap standpoint and just a raw dollar standpoint
01:38to have two Supermax players,
01:41they will, I think, eventually peel him off for a younger,
01:45cheaper running mate for Jason Tatum.
01:47That's my opinion.
01:49That's my opinion.
