Jaylen Brown says trade to Sixers has been 'crazy transition'PHILADELPHIA -- All Star forward Jaylen Brown said he "wasn't that surprised" when he learned he'd been traded from the Boston Celtics to their rival, the Philadelphia 76ers, because of how often he'd heard his name in trade discussions during his 10 years with the franchise. "So it's been a crazy transition to be honest, but none of it is completely surprising. Brown ended up sixth in MVP voting after the Celtics surprising second place finish in the Eastern Conference. Now, James and Brown are teammates and each has new motivation in Philadelphia. As for his relationship with Tatum, Brown said that the two have "not really" spoken since the trade, but "on my end it's nothing but respect."
