Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Is there some tension between Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics? Former NBA star & Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady said recently on his podcast that there were “deep issues” between Brown and the Celtics, though team president Brad Stevens and Brown himself denied it. The team flamed out in the first round of the playoffs this season, shockingly blowing a 3-1 series lead against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Could Jaylen Brown be looking to move on? He had called this his most enjoyable season in the NBA. That’s saying something since he won a championship in 2024.
But could his joy have been the opportunity he had to be THE MAN in Boston for most of this year? Jayson Tatum was out until early March, and perhaps taking the reins of his own team really appealed to Brown. If that’s the case, he could get that on a full-time basis if the latest buzz comes to fruition.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Brown has heard his name in trade rumors. But Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix, speaking on NBC Sports , postulated that it could get more serious this summer. It’s been a complicated relationship.
