You'd trade Jaylen for way less than Lavine.
Heh, not really. Out of all the proposed Jaylen deals, the only one I liked was mine for Haliburton and Barnes. I'm just extremely high on Haliburton and think he's all but guaranteed to be as good as Jaylen Brown.
The Murray and either Keldon or Vassel proposal was interesting. More so with Keldon, but I wouldn't bite. I'm not big on Murray (rightly or wrongly, I get stat padding vibes from him) and I don't think Keldon Johnson or Vassell ever get to Brown's level. I'm pretty sure I dismissed all the others without even much thought.
I even predicted on this board that Haliburton would average 20 ppg/10apg for the rest of the rest of the season in Indiana, and on effective shooting. I don't see how anyone can be a non believer but he's making me look like a genius in his first 2 games.
22.5 points, 11.0 assists, 2.5 steals on 16/29 shooting and 10/18 from 3 in 40.0 mpg.
Fox missed 4 games from 12/17-12/22, Haliburton averaged 23.5 points, 11.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals in 39.8 minutes on .529/.500/.846 shooting.
Fox missed 8 games from 1/22-2/05, Haliburton averaged 17.0 points, 9.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 steals, in 36.7 minutes on .414/.340/.875 shooting.
Long story short, you are mistaken by huge man crush on Haliburton as a desire to trade Brown. LaVine is really, really good. If someone wants to argue Jaylen Brown is better than LaVine, that's fine. But it's 100% an argument. You can add Ingram into that group too. It's more about who one thinks is a better fit next to Tatum at that point. The talent is comparable. I think Ingram and LaVine would both be better fits next to Tatum but that Jaylen is fine. It just requires having more plus passers at other positions.
Haliburton is all about projection. You either believe or you don't.
edit: There are very few unfinished players I'd trade Brown. Out of all of those, the one I thought would be the most likely to be traded was Haliburton and that it wasn't very likely. Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball aren't coming to Boston.
