Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum revealed that he learned about Jaylen Brown the same way fans learned about the trade, from ESPN’s Shams Charania. Tatum addressed his relationship with Brown after the trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, weeks after the blockbuster swap involving Paul George. This time, though, he went into great detail.
In a recent epsiode of his vlog, Tatum revealed when he first found out about Brown’s trade to the 76ers, per Celtics Wire’s Daniel Donabedian.
“We was in Vegas. I just got done playing pick-up the first day. Shams walks over. He hand me the towel and he’s like, “Yo, put this over your face. Don’t react. They just traded him.” I’m like, ‘Oh s***,’ I’m like, ‘Where?’ He said, “Philly.” You traded him down the street? So, I was just as much off-guard as the rest of the world,” Tatum said. “I very much have been transparent about how thankful, I personally am, for our relationship, and what we were able to accomplish over nine years.

“Talk about 2017 to 2025-26. Jayson and Jaylen. You won’t ever be able to talk about one of us without the other. Just our ability to grow up as kids. And go through our ups and downs. And people talking about one of us had to go. And we couldn’t win together. There was a lot of s*** that we had to deal with.”
After Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the Celtics to a championship in 2024, the Celtics forward knows their legacy is forever cemented together.
“I will always say I knew every time I stepped on that court that when it was time to go to war, I looked to my left and my right and number 7 was over there, I knew that he was going to do whatever it took for us to try to win,” Tatum added. “The way we pushed each other. I definitely made him better and he made me better. And we made our team better. We made this organization better. We won a championship. We are forever stitched in stone in NBA history. We held up that trophy. It won’t ever be forgotten.”
