One reason why Derrick White will bounce back .. and that the Celtics will be good .. is that they have a big advantage over last year's team. I explain in the latest Locked On Celtics podcast.

When a guy is 32, makes more than $30 million, and he's coming off a bad shooting season, it's fair to start wondering what's next. I'm not worried about Derrick White this season, but also, the 2nd apron spares no one. We talked about it on the new Locked On Celtics podcast

Tried to talk through the Jaylen Brown trade and make some sense of what looks like a horrible deal. In a nutshell, it feels terrible, we should all work through our emotions, but there is a "wait and see" element too Watch: youtu.be/MfzhcL6aF28 Hitting audio feeds shortly.

In a shocking move, Jaylen Brown has been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first round picks, and two second round picks. It's a very confusing, underwhelming return for an all NBA player. Here's my initial reaction.
