We have a show to do today.

The whole new acronym thing drives me effing pen in.

Can we call him by his wing?

Shelter and Man, on 985, the Sports Hub.

Let's go.

Now, as far as interest in Jalen Brown, it's off the charts.

I mean, Jalen Brown is an elite player, a two-way wing, and under, even though it's a big contract,

it's a manageable contract for a player of his caliber. I think one of the reasons that, you know, last year, maybe there wasn't as robust a market for Jalen Brown as to as this year is because Jalen not proven that he can do what he did this year. This year, his career took off. This year, he became an elite number one guy on a team that finished number two in the conference standing. So now teams are looking at Jalen Brown, I believe, a lot

differently. He's just now in the prime years of his career. He continues to get better. The work

he did last offseason to get himself ready for this type of role with this team this season was

nothing short of remarkable. So you're getting a winner. You're getting an elite two-way player. The interest in Jalen Brown is going to be incredibly robust over the next few weeks and months. There's a Chris Mannix cut we played earlier in the week. And I just heard it from a couple of different guys, Winhorse Manixics the interest in jalen brown is off the charts

i've just been pushing back against this all week i've been arguing it with it all week so you know

it's a little bit of a stuck in my craw but i don't know i don't feel like i'm wrong do you feel

like the interest in jalen brown has been off the charts no fact i feel it limited. I think he's a hard guy to trade for a lot of reasons. And look, it's hard to make deals with the star players anyway, let alone ones make it a lot of money who were 30 years old. You know, and I would say being late to the party, there've already been a couple of big trades made in the NBA. So a couple of those guys have already moved. Now you're trying to add another one, which means anyone that was interested in the first two is already, you know, I mean, I don't know how many teams who are that are even doing that. So, Murray, what did you just report at the top of the hour update? About Portland or whole thing. So, yeah, the Portland Trailblazers is reportedly of interest in Brown.

This is from Sham Sharania v.SPN, and they have a significant amount of draft capital.

Okay, so Shams Sharania reported earlier today the Celtics are asking for at least four first round picks and probably plus.

So Portland can give you the picks, but if they want players, what does Portland have?

What does Portland have that you want?

So instead of us just fumbling around, because I can't tell you one GD thing about the Portland

Trailblazers, they got, they have Drew Holiday and Robert Williams.

Other than that, I can't tell anything about him.

So I just want to pop B, Rob, Brian Rob from Mass Live here on our expert hotline.
