The day has come when Jaylen Brown gets to face off against his former team, the Boston Celtics, for the first time as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. It was an interesting summer for Brown, as he was traded to the 76ers after several rumors of the Celtics looking to trade him came out of nowhere.

There have been many conflicting reports about Brown actually requesting a trade, but according to ESPN’s Kris Rhim, there is no truth to the report.

“Instead, the source said, Brown discovered his former team had tried — and failed — to trade him to the Milwaukee Bucks while he was on vacation over the summer,” Rhim wrote. “The one thing Brown did ask for, the source said, was to be involved in the process of where he was traded. The Celtics ignored the request and sent him 300 miles southwest to Philadelphia.”

Brown then learned that the Celtics tried to trade him to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo while he was on vacation. Those plans failed, and Antetokounmpo was ultimately traded to the Miami Heat. According to ESPN, Brown told the Celtics that he still wanted to stay with the team, but they let him know he was getting traded anyway.

“As the Celtics continued to explore the market for Brown after the failed Antetokounmpo trade, Brown asked to have a say in where he was sent or at minimum be given a heads-up on the destination. But he learned he’d be going to the Sixers only after the deal was finalized,” Rhim wrote.

The main reason why the Celtics moved on from Brown was because of his and Jayson Tatum’s large contracts not being able to help them build a sustainable roster. That means that the Celtics chose Tatum over Brown, even after the All-NBA season he had just had.
