Trouble in paradise? Jaylen Brown mentor Tracy McGrady hints Boston Celtics star unhappy

"I think his frustration lies deeply within the organization," said McGrady.

Is there trouble brewing in paradise? If we are talking about the Boston Celtics and recent rumbles that the Georgia native might not be happy with his current ball club, both may be an understatement, though it is certainly something to monitor. We are referring, of course, to recent comments made by friend and mentor of Brown, NBA legend Tracy McGrady.

In a recent episode of his "Cousins" podcast, McGrady shared that the Cal alum might have a bone to pick with Boston's front office. "I think his frustration lies deeply within the organization and other things that," said McGrady to his cohost (and cousin) Vince Carter. "Of course, of course, I knew that," answered the latter.

"We don't really have details too," continued McGrady. "It's just been a lot of stuff that I've been hearing going on with the Boston organization with JB," added the Houston Rockets icon. "So I think part of him is like ‘I showed you guys more of who I am as a basketball player, not only what I did on the basketball court, but the leadership that I displayed within this team and you've seen that, not having our best player in (Jayson Tatum).

" "You’ve seen the different side of me and what I'm able to bring to the game of basketball. ' So, all that stuff I think came into play with him and his frustration. However, the 3-1 loss, it was devastating because this never happened in Boston's history with any other greats.
