Bill Simmons on hearing about the Jaylen Brown trade from his wife picking him up from a colonoscopy I think Im dead The anesthesia killed me Are there more first round picksI had a camera in my ass and I had Paul George rammed up my ass

Bill Simmons I've kind of talked myself into the Paul George trade August 23rd took over 50 days it happened this week Paul George Hugo Ron Harper Baylor Scheiermanwe can replace Jaylen with bulk

Bill Simmons I dont know if this is the best situation for him Jaylen Brown in Philly but Ill guess well find out But he went from Its time for me to have my own team to him being the 4th most important person on this team Hes basically going to have to be their Derrick White

Bill Simmons on the Lakers being sold for more than the Celtics It hurt it was a wake up call for us

Jaylen Brown on who called him first after he got tradedWhen I first got traded I just threw my phone across the roomHe later mentions it is either Tyrese Maxey or VJ Edgecombe

Bill Simmons I think one of the reasons they made the trade is they felt like he Paul George might be a better fit at this point in Jayson Tatum's career I think they were feeling like it was a better basketball fit and I think they wanted some of their other younger wings to play more

Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey Jaylens a huge piece to them so they Celtics were asking for a lot and I think we did give up a lot in this deal Paul George is still a really good player We gave up some valuable picks
