Then again, the Celtics were one of his biggest rivals during his first stint in Cleveland.

But the apparent downplaying of Brown speaks to what’s going to be one of the more fascinating question for these Sixers: if you believe that the Celtics traded Brown because he didn’t want to be subordinate to Tatum anymore, how in the world is he going to react to being on a team where he will often be the third or even fourth option? And/or, how much will the talents of Maxey and his other teammates be wasted if Nurse decides he has to appease Brown by giving him the highest usage?

But for some reason, they don’t think Boston Philly is a compelling matchup and don’t mention this possibility.
