Jaylen Brown's Team Denies Trade Demand Report
28 Oct
Summary
- Jaylen Brown's representative calls trade demand report 10000% false.
- Brown requested input on trade destination after Celtics informed him.
- Brown's only other request was equal treatment for him and Tatum.
Reports suggesting Philadelphia 76ers forward Jaylen Brown demanded a trade or issued demands to the Boston Celtics have been definitively denied by a representative from Brown's team, who described the claims as "10000% a lie." The Celtics had traded Brown, the No. 3 pick in the 2016 draft, to the Sixers this offseason.
Following the Celtics informing Brown he would be traded after a potential deal involving Giannis Antetokounmpo fell through, his representative stated Brown's only request was to have input on his next team. It was also clarified that Brown's sole other request during his tenure in Boston was for equal treatment alongside teammate Jayson Tatum.
The relationship between Brown and Tatum has recently drawn attention, sparked by Brown's social media activity responding to Tatum's comments about the trade. Despite public statements about "no beef," Brown's remarks have implied underlying tension, referencing Tatum's "good PR team" and suggesting "a little lamb chops and some gravy."
Brown and Tatum, both former top-three draft picks, spent nine seasons together in Boston. They achieved significant success, including five Eastern Conference finals appearances, two NBA Finals trips, and an NBA championship in 2024.
