Jaylen Brown shoots down rumors of frustration with Celtics: 'I love Boston'
"I love Boston. If it was up to me, I could play in Boston for the next 10 years."
The rumors flew after Jaylen Brown sounded frustrated on his Twitch stream earlier in the week , calling out Joel Embiid as a flopper and the referees for being biased — the NBA fined him $50,000 for his comments about officiating. Adding fuel to the fire was Tracy McGrady, who said on his podcast "Cousins" with Vince Carter: "I think [Brown's] frustration lies deeply within the organization and other things that we don't really have the details to. There's just been a lot of stuff that I've been hearing just going on with the Boston organization, with JB.
" Brown went back on his live stream Wednesday night and shot down all those rumors. "A lot of stuff swirling around the Celtics and the organization. I hate that our president of basketball operations even had to respond to this.
Me and Brad [Stevens] have a great relationship. I love Boston. And if it was up to me I could play in Boston for the next 10 years.
" Stevens was asked about the rumors at his end-of-season press conference earlier on Wednesday and said Brown had not said anything to him. "I talked to Jaylen Monday a little bit... and was nothing but positive.
