Joe Mazzulla 'still processing' Jaylen Brown trade

sportsJul 10, 202616132

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Thursday he is "still processing" the Jaylen Brown trade, marking his first public comments since the deal. The HoopsRumors piece notes Mazzulla's "still processing" remark sits uneasily beside the franchise's assertion that "there's great alignment within the organization." The article raises concrete worries about the locker room, noting Brown could be seen as both a disgruntled, talkative presence and a strong community member whose departure may create bad vibes if the team stumbles or if Paul George gets hurt. HoopsRumors also flags that by acquiring George and taking on Robinson the Celtics increased their injury risk and introduced more uncertainty while reducing overall talent. The piece concludes that, despite those costs, winning remains the overriding priority for the franchise.

Reunited with one of my best friends today after a few months, he let me rant about the Jaylen Brown trade for 30 minutes over dinner. That's friendship baby. 🥹

The Celtics made it clear that trading Jaylen Brown was a financially motivated decision to preserve their optionality. I wrote about how that trade is symptomatic of a larger problem in the NBA—one that risks sabotaging the next generation of fans. www.forbes.com/sites/bryant...

The reactions to Jayson Tatum in the wake of the Jaylen Brown trade are comical to me. It shows a real double standard, and not understanding the dynamic of the Celtics

Spot on John. People just have to come up with these narratives.

This is why someone should tell Shams that according to anonymous sources, Stephen A can’t stand him and everyone on the live shows thinks he’s a gambling shill. It’s a joke but the point is: national media guys are full of it. What if their work relationships were placed under the microscope?

This is a really good look at how the local TV money affected the Jaylen Brown trade (and every team juggling max salaries)

"When it doesn't feel hard, is when you're not in it for the right reasons." Joe Mazzulla shares his raw reaction to the Jaylen Brown trade. His answers also captured something essential to the Celtics' path back to a championship, whether they get there or not. hardwoodhoudini.com/he-made-me-b...

I talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes on the Jaylen Brown trade. Cant believe the Celtics let him go for a 37 YO Paul George and to a long time rival. He brought up JB and JTs relationship so I hung up on him.

I've both come to accept the baseline logic of the trade and also that Jaylen Brown is right to be mad about every conversation about him this off-season

Best argument for the trade i have seen so far, still doesn't address my biggest issue with the trade (don't make your rivals better) hoopinformatics.leaflet.pub/3mq45mqgsvk23

The more I think about this, the note I think the why so fast, why PHI bits are just bc teams get the financials before we do, & BOS realized they needed to get ahead of moving the deal before other teams saw the danger - & PHI didn't, or didn't care
