At an October 27 postgame press conference, Jaylen Brown, now with the Philadelphia 76ers, responded to Jayson Tatum's account of learning of the trade mid-pickup game. Brown's camp has called reports that he demanded a trade from the Celtics '1,000, 10,000 percent false.' The dispute turns on a reported list of demands: Brian Scalabrine said Brown gave Boston one, then said he did not know what it contained. Brown is under contract for three more years at $57.7 million, $61.6 million and $65 million, with no option on the third. Whether Tatum pushed Brown out or Boston chose its guy remains contested, and the contents of any list are still unestablished.
