Jaylen Brown shuts down frustration rumors: I love Boston
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown hopped on Twitch to tell the world he wants to stay in green for a long time.
BOSTON — The offseason started early for the Boston Celtics, and that means the rumor mill is already swirling, particularly regarding star guard Jaylen Brown. After the C's were eliminated by the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of their first-round series on Saturday night, there was buzz that Brown had grown frustrated. This report first stemmed from former NBA star — and Brown's friend and mentor — Tracy McGrady, who told fellow Hall of Famer Vince Carter on the "Cousins" podcast that the longest-tenured Celtic's "frustration lies deeply within the organization.
" McGrady didn't provide more detail, but that was enough to set social media ablaze. In a way, the Celtics have Tracy McGrady to thank for the 2024 title. Jaylen Brown said that the former star told him to stay in Boston when he considered leaving: “If you can stay, and you got an opportunity to win, win,” he told JB.

The rumors these comments generated got so out of control that Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens was asked about them on Wednesday morning at the Auerbach Center. Stevens said if there were frustrations, he hadn't heard about it.
