Jaylen Brown is running the EXACT same playbook Kyrie Irving ran in Boston — and nobody is connecting the dots.
In 2018, Kyrie got hurt, the Celtics played better without him, and when he came back the locker room fell apart. He gave the “ask me July 1st” answer and left for Brooklyn.
In 2026, Tatum tore his Achilles. Brown carried Boston to 56 wins with career-highs (28.7 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 5.1 APG). Then they choked a 3-1 lead to the Sixers and Brown called it his “favorite season.” The Boston Globe accused him of being happier without Tatum. Stephen A. Smith just threatened to drop locker room intel and named Tatum BY NAME. The Celtics have already talked to the Hawks about trading Brown. Tracy McGrady leaked that Brown is “deeply frustrated” with the organization.
