WEBVTT - Jaylen Brown Spills His Guts About His Future In Boston

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>So you know how you can sometimes hear certain players

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>not at all. They don't say a peek for years

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>at a time, and then all of a sudden, the

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>floodgates just open up and they just never stopped talking.

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like, Wow, you had a lot on your mind

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>for a while, You've been wanting to spill the tea

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>for years, and you've just been playing the good soldier.

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>That folks is Jaylen Brown right now, Jalen Brown has

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>had enough. There are multiple articles now being written about

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Jaylen Brown. He's decided to address literally everything everywhere, all

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>at once with the Ringer. There was so much tea spilled.

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>They talked about Boston Celtics getting Kyrie and having Kyrie leave.

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>You had the emy Udoka stuff. I mean it was assive,

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>it was sweeping. Logan Murdoch did a great job. They

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>even talked about Kanye West and his relationship to Donda Sports.

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was full on. Brown was completely unapologetic,

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>direct as pretty much as much as you might expect

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>him to be. He's never really spoken like this at

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>length before. But the big takeaway is really just how

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>much the Celtics and Jason Tatum flirting with Kevin Durant

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>fuck with Jalen Brown's head. He's already someone who said

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>in this article, I do not trust people. I do

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>not trust organizations. I do not trust teams. And they

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>they were shopping me, and then they said they weren't

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>shopping me. And we all got quote unquote on the

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>same page. But did we? But did we? Though, Like,

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I believe them. When asked about

0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>his relationship with Jason Tatum, he was pretty blunt. It's

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>not gonna please Celtics fans because apparently being dangled as

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>trade bait for Kevin Rant would do that for you.

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>He said, well, Katie and jt are friends, they were

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>working out together and whatnot. So I wasn't sure what

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the energy was there. I wasn't sure what the direction

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>of the organization was. You add that to the fact

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that Ema Udoka, the guy that he promoted to get

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>hired in the first place because they were on Team

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>USA together, and he gets fired, and you're like, boy,

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on with this organization. So

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>he jumps on this three way call with Jason Tatum

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and Brad Stevens, Like I said, They're like, hey, Jalen,

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>you're part of our future. No, and he was like, yeah,

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty suspicious of this. And Tatum was interviewed for

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the piece and he had this to say about Brown, Well,

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people fans are fascinated with our relationship

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and how that's developing grown over time. He's got fans

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>within the Celtic fan base. I've got fans within the

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Celtics fan base, and I think our fans have more

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>of a hard time coexisting than me and him do.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>We've never had an argument. I don't think we've ever

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>had a real argument or a fight, nothing crazy like that. Yeah,

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of weird. I think that people are either team

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Tatum or team Brown. Kind of reminds me of a

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>relationship between a passive, aggressive couple who just keeps everything

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>inside until one day one of them wakes up this

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.239
<v Speaker 1>morning and is like, you know what, you never take

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>out the fucking garbage? You know what? That really And

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>then you're just like, wait, what is this about the

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>garbage or is this about something else? It's healthy to

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>let things out a little bit more than they have,

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I think. And it turns out it's not just the

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>personal relationship with Jason Tatum that's damaged. It's his feelings

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>for the entire organization that might not surprise anyone based

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>on who the Celtics are known to be and who

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Jaylen Brown is known to be. Don't need to say

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>more on that, but you know what I'm saying. The

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Celtics operate on different principles. He said. They look at

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>it as a business where they tell you one thing

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and then behind closed doors they say another and they'll

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>trade you off. They'll tell you we love you and

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>they'll be having like, yeah, we're gonna trade him next week.

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Like where I'm from in the South, if you don't

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>come through the front door, it's considered disrespectful. I feel

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times when you deal in these corporate spaces,

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>everybody wants to come through the back door or come

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>through at an angle. Yeah, Jalen Brown, I'm sorry to

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>say that. When you are dealing with trade negotiations, if

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the trade falls through, they need to tell you they

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>love you, like That's just how it goes. Otherwise, what

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:49.799
<v Speaker 1>is this relationship left? Very tenuous situation, so much to unpack,

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>so much damage to undo. I think Jalen Brown might

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>be Gucci on the Boston Celtics as a whole. I

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>think he's sort of ready to move on. It feels

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>like it doesn't sound like he wants to be a

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 1>Celtics anymore. He's a free agent after next season. If

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 1>you can read the energy, JB kind of feels like

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>he has already broken up with the Celtics. Unless something changes,

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>unless he gets a super Max contract, he's probably gone.

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>This is what he said. I just enjoy the time

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>that you have now. If it's your whole career with Boston,

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it's your whole career. If it's not, it's not. Some

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest players of all time haven't finished with

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>their organization. Michael Jordan retired a wizard. As much as

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.359
<v Speaker 1>we feel like it, we like it here and enjoy

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>being here. You see where life takes you, You see

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>where the process goes. All you do is really focus

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>on what's in front of you. To be honest, I'll

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>just say we'll get there when we get there. Oh boy.

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>He also said this to Logan, which I thought was

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>even more interesting. Brown was asked if he wants to

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>stay in Boston long term. Brown says, I don't know,

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>as long as I'm needed it's not really up to me.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how they feel about me over time and

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>I feel about them over time. Hopefully whatever it is

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. But I'll stay where I'm wanted. I will

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>stay where I'm needed, and this is the most important line,

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and I will stay where I'm treated. Correct Who boy,

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Hey girl, I'm not saying we're breaking up,

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>but you might want to get your own Netflix account.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not saying we're breaking up, but you might

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>want to look at some new crock pots for yourself.

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying we're breaking up, but you need to

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>decide whether you're getting the couch or the mattress cuz

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>we're breaking up. So, I don't know. Boston and Jaylen

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Brown are in a real predicament. If you know he's

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>not happy and he doesn't want to sign an extension,

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>which by the way, he's not gonna sign an extension

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>because he's only eligible for one hundred and twenty five

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>percent rays. If he makes all NBA, he's he's eligible

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>for a much higher extension. But if he doesn't make

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>all NBA, that's all you can offer him, and you

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>have to wait until he hits free agency, and if

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>he hits free agency, anything can happen. Then you add

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>into the fact that the Boston Celtics right now don't

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>look great with Joe Miszula if they get bounced early.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Now you've got whispers uh that Atlanta is keeping an

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>iron monitoring the Jalen Brown situation, which, by the way,

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Brown, as you notice, is from Atlanta. This thing

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>could go sideways fast. Yes, The latest news, like I said,

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>is the Atlanta Hawks are working to clear cap space

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>aka John Collins with the clear intent of making a

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>run at Jalen Brown. Things could change fast in Boston.
