I could see Brown playing some minutes at the two though honestly.

Oh for sure. He's versatile so he can play that 2-4 and has done so during the season. And he may convert to being a 2 guard; definitely possible. I just feel like Stevens/Ainge like him as a 3.

There was a report that Stevens wanted to trade for him but Ainge wasn't interested, who knows how true it was

I'd rather stick with Crowder and groom Brown to replace him

I rather us trade Jae and have Melo teach Brown

Teach how to play in isolation. Are we ignoring that Melo is an elite offensive player?:dwillhuh:

I'd prefer Jaylen learn from somebody with a well-rounded game. Jaylen shouldn't learn from a one-dimensional player whose game is nothing like his.

I'd be happy with Melo but they wouldn't get one of Brooklyn's picks

Honestly, I don't want Melo period. He would fukk up the team's chemistry and he obviously doesn't fit into Stevens' ball movement-oriented system. And he can't play defense for shyt.

I'm uncertain of the system fit myself but I'd be willing to roll the dice at the right price. I think he would come in with a refreshed attitude and would be a willing rebounder. His scoring would help take the burden off of Isaiah and he's pretty clutch.
