In this story:

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown spoke honestly about last year's Luka Doncic deal that sent the superstar to the rival Los Angeles Lakers. Brown, like most of the basketball world, didn't have too many kind things to say regarding the deal.

In other news, newly acquired Anfernee Simons expressed optimism about the season ahead. Many have been quick to write off the Celtics this year, but with a wide-open Eastern Conference, there is no reason that Boston can once again be a contender, even without Jayson Tatum for the foreseeable future.
