Jaylen Brown Blasts Celtics Over 10-Year Exit After 76ers Trade

3 articles · Updated · CBS New York · Jul 3

Summary

  • Brown said on his first Twitch stream since the deal that Boston showed him a "lack of respect" after trading him away following a decade with the Celtics.
  • The 76ers acquired Brown for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, a blockbuster move that followed Boston's failed pursuit of another star who landed in Miami.
  • Brown said he is still processing the swap and adjusting to joining a longtime rival, adding that younger Celtics players reached out after the trade.
  • He also attacked media coverage, singling out Colin Cowherd's anonymous-source claim that he has "a disease" of thinking he's the smartest person in the room.
  • Philadelphia now gets a star who said he will try to earn respect "one day at a time," even as he called his final Boston season his favorite.
