More speculation, this time from Sporting News (via Dallas Morning News) that the Celtics want Bamba and SN suggesting that Jaylen Brown could be the price. Pure speculation.
https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dallas-mavericks/mavericks/2018/06/03/jaylen-brown-mavs-celtics-looking-trade-nba-draft-report-says[Soapbox]That's not what I find to be the worst part of the article, though. Look, it's the internet, and no one asks for the King's English. I've even grown accustomed to people not knowing the difference between "loose" and "lose," although I admit to still having trouble with those who mix up "their" and "there."
The linked article, speculating that the Celtics could trade Jaylen Brown for #5, ends with this paragraph:
With last year's No. 9 overall pick used on point guard Dennis Smith Jr., Brown could be the centerpiece of a package Boston could offer Dallas for their No. 5 pick.That may be the worst written sentence in the history of the world. That prepositional phrase is just dropped in at the beginning of the sentence, and Jaylen Brown is thrust into the second half without remorse. It sounds like the Celtics drafted DS Jr. last year.
What makes it so bad is that this sentence wasn't written by a random guy on the internet. It showed up in the Dallas Morning News and was written by somebody who, theoretically, went to journalism school. Simply put, I find it offensive that the author of such tripe associated him/herself with Jaylen through this article.
Danny Concannon would be mortified.[/Soapbox]
