The Celtics' Jaylen Brown trade was rather unprecedented for various reasons. Not only has the organization typically been one bringing in superstars rather than trading them away, but the team Brown was traded to was also stunning.
Considering the historic rivalry between Boston and Philadelphia, dating back to the early days of the NBA, they have never agreed to a trade of the magnitude they did this summer, with Brown now set to contribute to a likely ***** le contender alongside LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. Doc Rivers, who coached the 2008 Celtics to a championship, had a similar reaction to most fans: shock.
Rivers recently shared his initial reaction to the Brown trade with reporters.
"I was surprised, like everybody else. And I was surprised that they did it with Philly," Rivers said.
