This week in Celtics talk
The shows spent the week wrestling with the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to Philadelphia, with Simmons and Barkley debating whether Brad Stevens saw the Tatum-Brown pairing as unsustainable long-term. Barkley called it one of the craziest moves in decades, arguing the Sixers were struggling before the deal. There's also talk about the draft capital the Celtics picked up in the process.
