Colin Cowherd suggested the Boston Celtics will perform better next season after trading Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown, who had a successful career in Boston, averaged 28.6 points last season but faced criticism regarding his impact on the team's winning percentage when he was sidelined. Cowherd pointed out that the Celtics have historically had a higher winning percentage without Brown on the court, which has fueled discussions about the validity of his contribution. The Celtics now look to build around their core, including Jayson Tatum and new addition Paul George.
