Summary
Tuesday night, Tatum said Brown’s trade to Philadelphia feels “weird,” marking his first public comments since the move ended their nine-season Celtics partnership.
Nine years together brought two Finals trips and one championship, and Tatum said the abrupt split was emotionally tough even as he acknowledged the NBA is a business.
Tatum said Boston now has to balance that loss with moving forward, welcoming newcomers after the deal brought in Paul George.
Mike Conley and Mitchell Robinson also joined in free agency, leaving the Celtics’ roster largely set for next season, though president Brad Stevens has not ruled out more moves.
