Kevin Garnett expressed his concerns about the Boston Celtics' decision to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers on his podcast. Garnett described the move as more about business than basketball, likening it to the dismantling of championship rosters in the past. Former Celtics legends Robert Parish and Paul Pierce have also questioned the decision. Garnett argued that Brown and Jayson Tatum formed a valuable duo and that trading Brown may not benefit the Celtics in the long run.
