Boston Celtics have decided to break up their championship team as the salary cap forced them, too. Will there be a chance that they let one of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum go? JB is not ruling out the possibility.
Having a one-team NBA career is very rare now and it is an exclusive club. For Brown, the chances of that happening to him is not that high as he emphasized that pro basketball is still a business.
“In our league, it’s a business. It’s not up to me. Sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s not, he said during an interview with influencer and rapper DDG.
“They might want to move in another direction one day, and they might force you to—like, you’re not playing me or you’re not trying to pay me—so I’m going to go somewhere else where they are.”
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t f*ck with the city, or that I wouldn’t mind being here for my whole career. But you know, anything can happen at any given moment.”
Jaylen Brown admits he’s not spared
He also referenced how other superstars get traded out of nowhere despite their relationship with their own city.
“They traded Luka [Doncic], they traded Kevin Durant, they traded some all-time Hall of Famers. So you fall in line with that if it comes down to it.”
Doncic’s case is one of the most shocking in NBA. Dallas Mavericks decided to trade him despite them just coming off an NBA finals appearance (lost to the Celtics). This case make people think that anything can happen in the league now.
Brown is one of the two star players in the Celtics squad but between him and Tatum, he is the one who always get dragged to trade rumors.
For now, he is here to stay as he has been carrying them with the absence of his tag team partner who according to him might return sooner than expected.
