  "account": "Jaylen Brown, the 29-year-old forward, is focused on establishing himself in Philadelphia with the 76ers, as opposed to staying rooted in Boston with the Celtics. Brown requested his introductory press conference to be held in Philadelphia to emphasize his connection to the city. Despite the trade that sent him to Philadelphia, Brown insisted he was only able to focus on his new team and community, stating, \"That's where we hang our hat.\"\n\nWhen questioned about his relationship with teammate and former teammate Jayson Tatum, Brown acknowledged that they had won a championship together and that he respected Tatum, but they have not communicated since the trade. Brown also mentioned that Tatum's absence due to a serious injury impacted the Celtics' performance, but he expressed that he still had respect for Tatum despite the abrupt end to their nine-year tenure together in Boston.",
  "summary": "Brown seemingly bit his tongue at times, wanting to, in his words, \"move forward,\" except it was impossible to totally ignore the drama that still surrounds him.",
