00:00is, will the Celtics pay it?
00:03So if the Celtics will pay the contract,
00:05then I think there's a chance he's still here.
00:08If they won't pay the contract, it's over.
00:11But, so, and look, there are a couple things
00:13working in favor of him staying here
00:15with regard to that.
00:16And when I say that, I mean,
00:18if you're Bill Chisholm
00:20and you just get ownership of the team,
00:22and let's just say, for the sake of argument,
00:25that they knew this was going to be a gap year
00:27that we're going to reset the money.
00:30Your first big move is going to be
00:32to trade Jalen Brown away?
00:34That's a horrible way to start an ownership, isn't it?
00:37Mass, when someone's on the trade block,
00:40do they typically come back off of it?
00:42No.
00:43So this is what I'm just sort of saying.
00:45And also, how mad are people going to be
00:46at the new ownership if they trade Jalen Brown?
00:49There'll be a small section of Celtics.
00:50Well, no, no.
00:51That's a fair point.
00:52If they trade Jalen Brown, but bring back
00:54three-time MVP, NBA champion, Giannis Antetokounmpo?
00:58Well, to Murray's point,
00:59this fan base will eat up anything.
01:01Well, listen, if they bring back Harry Schmedlap,
01:04I think people would be agitated.
01:06Sure, but if you're getting a name like Giannis,
01:08it's easier to digest.
01:09If you're trading dollar for dollar,
01:11name value for name value,
01:13now listen, I would not do this.
01:15I think you get worse with Giannis
01:17versus Jalen Brown.
01:18I'd rather have Jalen Brown.
01:20As a Bucs fan,
01:21you want to give me Jalen Brown for Giannis?
01:22Yes, I'm taking that.
01:23Yesterday, I feel like I got away with one.
01:26That would be a great return for the Bucs.
01:28So if I'm the Celtics, I'm not doing it.
01:30But, Maz,
01:33I think fans would get agitated
01:34if they traded him for ponies,
01:35if they traded him to get further under the tax,
01:38to further cut payroll.
01:40If they traded him for a guy who's more accomplished,
01:43I don't know.
01:44There'd be a debate on the basketball merits,
01:46not on the merit of,
01:48are these owners just dumping money?
01:50You know what I mean?
01:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
