The controversy began Monday when Scalabrine claimed on SiriusXM NBA Radio that Brown had approached Boston with several demands before the franchise traded him to Philadelphia.Scalabrine alleged that Brown wanted the Celtics to meet those conditions or trade him, preferably to the Milwaukee Bucks.He also claimed Brown had contacted teammates about potentially joining him in Milwaukee.Brown rejected that account Wednesday.“Never, never demanded a trade. Never made a list of ultimatums,” Brown said.A representative for Brown had previously told ESPN the allegations were “10000% a lie.”According to that representative, Brown only requested input on his destination after Boston informed him that he would be traded.Scalabrine subsequently clarified his original comments, acknowledging that Brown had not technically demanded a trade.H
