The reason Booker + 4 for KP is a bad deal for PHX is because they're both similarly top prospects. Why would PHX give away their young star plus a pick for another young star? It's just a lateral trade plus loss of asset for free.
So in other words you don't even read what you wrote.
"They wanted booker and 4". That's in your original post. Then you equate the value of that deal to "3 + brown + LAL18". Thus X = Y. Then you go on in the same paragraph to say "I would do it". Now you're saying that it's a bad deal. Which is it Sonny Jim?
Look man, I"m not going to debate whether or not KP is better than KO because it's absurd.
Yet no one claimed otherwise. Another reading comprehension failure on your part. You're not very good at this.
Let's just put it this way. Jackson says KP is available and the entire league and analysts lose their [dang] mind and Jackson's phone is off the hook. It's for a reason. KP was considered untouchable.
Yet he's not untouchable because Jackson has him on the block. Which is it?
Jaylen Brown has been available since we drafted him. Where are the phone calls? You think if Danny Ainge says Brown is available for trade, people are going to come running? I like Brown. I just think that you guys are enamored with your own and can't see the obvious different in talent level that the rest of the NBA Execs and fans can clearly see.
Source needed otherwise your point is invalid. Thanks for playing, please try again.
Maybe your takeaway from this thread is that no one is agreeing with your exorbitant pricing of KP. Not anyone here and not any scouts or reporters out there either are quoting these kinds of deals either. Instead of shouting at the world, it's time for you to read what you're posting, what others are posting and then respond in kind rather than contradicting yourself and believing that your wild speculations are factual.
I would not do Booker+4, but I would do Brown+3+LAL18, as respective GMs. 1) Booker is significantly better than Brown 2) Phoenix needs picks more than Celtics. With KP, the Celtics are a free agent signing away from title contention.
The moment you said that KP is a better KO, you compared them. There is no comparison. One is a stud, one is not. You claimed that he has hit the ceiling. LOL? After the 2nd year? You're just really, REALLY bad at projecting future NBA talent.
You're the one with the reading comprehension problem. I said very clearly that KP was considered untouchable. That's why when Jackson made him "touchable," people lost their minds. It's really not that hard to follow.
No one is agreeing with me on Celtics forum because I am shattering dreams (#3 for KP), saying that Booker is better than Brown, and taking an overall contrarian view. It doesn't mean that I'm wrong.
I would love to be proven wrong and we get KP for #3 + Crowder. But it won't happen. I would go absolutely through the roof.
