Jaylen Brown dismisses any discussions to be had between him and Jayson Tatum
- On Tuesday, former Celtics star Jaylen Brown faces his old team for the first time as the Philadelphia 76ers host the Boston Celtics at Xfinity Mobile Arena in their first regular-season meeting since his offseason trade.
- Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens orchestrated the trade to avoid having two high-usage superstars accounting for 70% of Boston's salary cap, ending a decade-long partnership between Brown and Jayson Tatum.
- Regarding their relationship, Tatum stated there is 'no beef,' but Brown fired back there might be 'a little lamb chops and some gravy,' suggesting competitive tension rather than friendship off the court.
- Averaging 20.4 points per game, Paul George faces his former team for the first time since the trade; Philadelphia currently holds the Eastern Conference's best record at 9-2.
- Advanced metrics like RAPM influenced the trade decision, as experts continue to debate the gap between Brown's reputation as a Finals MVP and his underwhelming adjusted on/off metrics.
