Analyst says Brown demanded trade before Celtics send him to Sixers
Analyst Brian Scalabrine said that Jaylen Brown asked the Boston Celtics for a trade and presented a list of conditions before the team sent him to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to reports on 26 October in Philadelphia. Brown first signaled his displeasure on 22 October by posting a cap emoji in response to a video Jayson Tatum shared about the trade, as both began new seasons with their respective clubs. After the Celtics defeated the New York Knicks, Tatum told reporters he held no ill will toward Brown and wanted to discuss their shared history.
Ahead of the Celtics-76ers matchup in Philadelphia, Tatum urged better communication with his former teammate. Following the move, Brown told reporters there was no animosity toward Tatum, a sentiment Tatum echoed.
