Background:

Earlier in the offseason, the Celtics aggressively shopped Brown as the centerpiece alongside two first-round picks in an attempt to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks. When Giannis was instead traded to the Miami Heat, the relationship between Brown and the Celtics was reportedly damaged beyond repair.

Tension over the 1A Role: With Jayson Tatum sidelined for most of the 2025-26 season recovering from a torn Achilles, Brown thrived as the undisputed No. 1 option, averaging a career-high 28.7 points and finishing sixth in MVP voting. He openly stated on Twitch that it was his "favorite year" of basketball, even after Boston historically blew a 3-1 series lead to the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs. This created ongoing tension regarding his role and future expectations alongside Tatum.

Why trade him to a team in your division that just beat you in the playoffs? So you can make them better? Paul George is past expiration. Horrible trade

I listen more than I should to WEEI the Boston sports radio station and the Portland Maine one. When the Giannis deal fell thru that was it and it diminished what the Celtics could get for him. I've followed the whole Brown drama around here since he came into the league.
There has always been an underbelly of fan here that never liked him from day 1 when drafted. Many jumped on bandwagon after Title/MVP but his comments post beat down from the Sixers was his undoing here.
I actually called the Portland station once a couple of years back when people were on his case about his handles and suggested then that he was never gonna get a fair shake. They cut me off and claimed I was on drugs or something.

I am glad I no longer have to root for the Celtics.

This was the final straw.

It totally contradicted Boston fan values.

don't get me going okaydo. The JB haters really got mad back when he suggested that RE Brokers were steering him to certain neighborhoods or something to that effect where "he would be comfortable". Boston fans and here in Portland get touchy when you dare suggest such a thing. For 2 years one of the clowns on the radio wanted to trade him for Bradley Beal (sp?) as they wanted another "super star" (pronounced stah) to pair with Tatum. I can't wait to listen to the raidio this am and hear Stevens get absolutely trashed. He could do no wrong …well until now. Paul George? When the Giannis deal came about it was like chum in the water. The Beown bashing raised to a fever pitch and now he's gone.
I never rooted for the Celtics but I'm a dubs fan where rumor has it Green is making way for Brony Sr. Crazy

I never rooted for the Celts with or without JB.I always rooted for the Sixer's since I was a kid bc of Doc J, cheered loudly for them with AI. I still root for them to beat anyone in the East but glad the Knicks won it all bc I'm a surrogate a upstate NYer. In short, go Sixer's. Get Bron. Win a Title . and uh, JB have a convo with Dr J so he can teach you some humility and the power of silence.

Jaylen is definitely the smartest guy in the room. He is the cure, not the disease.

My love for Cal far surpasses my love for any pro team including the Lakers and the Dodgers. After I graduated from Cal my friends and I had Lakers season tickets for three Showtime Championship years. There was no team I hated more than the Celtics. Yet, I overcame my lifelong hatred for the Celtics when JB went there. To the point I even rooted for them (as I did the year with Leon Powe). Now I get to hate them again,
