The Celtics are banking on Payton Pritchard making a Jalen Brunson-type leap, per @tomhaberstroh

Jaylen Brown rubbed some people in Boston the wrong way with his twitch streams, his push to be viewed as Jayson Tatum’s equal, and his claim that last season was his best, per @SIChrisMannix
“Brown’s frequent Twitch streams caused some headaches in Boston’s front office and his claim that last season was his favorite—besting, you know, the 2024 run that ended in a championship—didn’t go over well with the fan base. Behind the scenes there was plenty of grumbling about Brown’s desire to be viewed as a basketball equal to Jayson Tatum.”
