00:09Well, Tony, Jalen Brown has a new home.
00:12He is being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George.
00:17Two first-round picks and two second-round picks.
00:21Sources tell ESPN.
00:23Okay, so look, I'm going to make an executive decision here.
00:27I co-sign this decision.
00:28Okay, look, you want to call in and talk about Wilson Contreras and the Red Sox, we can do that.
00:32But I'd like to spend the entirety of the hour on Jalen Brown.
00:35This is a massive, massive trade in the NBA.
00:38It's a massive, massive trade for the Celtics, and it needs to be dissected, analyzed, and talked about right now.
00:45So, 617-779-0985.
00:48We'll talk about Jalen Brown right up until 7 o'clock.
00:52Is Joe Murray coming in tonight, Jim?
00:53Yes.
00:53Okay, Joe Murray will take it from there.
00:55Jalen Brown traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks, two second-round picks.
01:04All right, so now someone's going to tell me, Jimmy, maybe you could look this up.
01:07How much money in term left on Paul George's contract and when those picks are is what I'd like to
01:14know.
01:15So, the picks we don't know yet, but the contract I'll get you in a second.
01:17Okay, so first, let me begin right here.
01:20I hate it.
01:21I hate it.
01:23I hate it with a freaking passion.
01:26This was a salary dump or a contract dump or define it however you want.
01:31I'm trying to type and talk at the same time here because of all the names that I was expecting,
01:36Paul George was not one of them.
01:37The Celtics saved $3 million on this trade.
01:41Jalen Brown makes 58.
01:42Paul George makes 54.
01:44I'm sorry, 57 for Jalen Brown, 54 for Paul George.
01:47Okay, and how much time left on George's contract?
01:49Two years.
01:50Two years on Paul George, three years on Jalen Brown.
01:53This is ridiculous.
01:56This is ridiculous.
01:58This is a ridiculous trade.
02:00Paul George is 36 years old and to save one year of money?
02:05One year of money, Jimmy, is what you're telling me.
02:07That George is getting paid for the next two.
02:09Yep.
02:10Is there any sort of player option or anything after that?
02:12Not that I'm seeing.
02:15So, the Celtics just traded a guy that they took with the number three pick in the draft who's been
02:23here 10 years, who's MVP of the NBA Finals, wingman to Jason Tatum, if not his equal, pretty damn close.
02:30And they traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers for a 36-year-old guy who looks like he's getting near
02:37the end.
02:37There was a little bit of a resurgence there in the postseason.
02:40But a guy who's been a failure pretty much everywhere he's gone since he left Indiana.
02:46Two firsts and two seconds?
02:49I hate it.
02:50It was a money dump.
02:52That's all it was.
02:53And the Celtics now today are worse than they were yesterday.
02:56And the Celtics now today are worse than they were.
02:57And the Celtics now today are worse than they were.
02:57And the Celtics now today are worse than they were.
02:57And the Celtics now today are worse than they were.
02:58And the Celtics now today are worse than they were.
02:59And the Celtics now today are worse than they were.
02:59And the Celtics now today are worse than they were.
