Jaylen Brown has addressed his trade from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers, admitting he was initially unhappy about the move. Speaking at his introduction with the 76ers, Brown reflected on the bumpy end to his time in Boston and his relationships with former teammate Jayson Tatum and new teammate Joel Embiid. He acknowledged that the new-look 76ers appear strong on paper but stressed that the team cannot 'skip steps' in its development. Brown, a key part of the Celtics' recent playoff runs, now joins a 76ers roster that has been reshaped around Embiid and fellow newcomer. His comments came during his first public appearance with his new team, where he detailed the circumstances of his departure from Boston and the transition to Philadelphia.
