Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Boston Celtics were reportedly engaged in trade talks with the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and those talks included Jaylen Brown.Now that Antetokounmpo is in Miami, insiders think teams will start trying to trade for Brown. This has sparked plenty of discourse about Brown and whether the Celtics should trade him or not. In this discourse, some insiders are bringing up what Jaylen Brown said on a livestream after the season.Brown said that last season was his favorite season. Some found this odd, considering Jayson Tatum missed most of the season and the Celtics were bounced in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Brown has already clarified what he meant by those comments, but once again called out ESPN and Stephen A. Smith on Wednesday.”ESPN is unethical, and Stephen A. Smith is the head face of that,” Brown said at Cannes at Sport Beach in a video posted on X. “The organization and players were all in agreement. They all knew what I meant by that. Our team basically salary dumped. We lost a lot of players and for us to emerge and still be in the same position.”With Brown’s name popping up in trade rumors again, media personalities are pointing to his comments after the season ended as a way to say he no longer wants to be in Boston and likes being a No. 1 option. However, Brad Stevens noted in his post-draft press conference on Wednesday that he thinks Brown and Tatum can still win together and coexist.Smith and Brown have gotten into it on social media a few times since the Celtics season ended, so this is not much of a surprise at this point.More NBA: Celtics Reportedly Have Lusted After This Star Forward ‘For Years’ Read More
