Jaylen Brown says trade to Sixers has been 'crazy transition'

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. He was disappointed with the Celtics' process and communication, however.

"When I first got traded, I just threw my phone across the room," Brown said during his introductory news conference Thursday afternoon in Philadelphia.

Soon afterward, Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey reached out to him and said, "'I know it's a lot of stuff going on right now, but we're excited to have you.'"
