As fans try to make sense of the head-scratching trade that sent Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George and picks, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst shared an interesting internal perspective.
On the Hoop Collective, the NBA insider shared that Boston didn’t believe Brown was the best active player on the roster in 2025-26.
“I just know that the Celtics felt that even though Jaylen Brown was talking about himself for MVP, or there was this MVP campaign for Jaylen Brown, the Celtics did not feel that Jaylen had the best season on their team — and I don’t mean Jayson Tatum," Windhorst said. “They felt that Derrick White had a better season.
“The statistics that people use to **** yze said that.”
It’s a fascinating **** sment considering the season White delivered.
