Jaylen Brown's camp shuts down report that he demanded a trade out of Boston: It's '10,000% a lie'
Former Celtics player turned NBA analyst Brian Scalabrine reported Monday that Jaylen Brown demanded a trade out of Boston this past offseason.
Jaylen Brown's camp has refuted a recent report claiming that the Boston Celtics' star player demanded a trade from the team. According to ESPN's Kris Rhim, Brown's representatives stated that the report was "10,000% a lie." The assertion that Brown, who is now with the Philadelphia 76ers, demanded a trade or presented the Celtics with a list of demands is false.
The report originated from former Celtics player and NBC Sports Boston analyst Brian Scalabrine, who claimed that Brown had requested a trade and had a list of demands. However, Brown's representatives denied these claims. While a potential trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo fell through, Boston informed Brown that he would be traded and only requested input on his destination.
Additionally, Brown's camp stated that his only other request was that he and Jayson Tatum be treated equally. Since the trade to Philadelphia, tensions between Brown and Tatum have been evident, and the situation remains complicated.
