What happened: Jaylen Brown rejected the assertion that he requested a trade from Boston during the offseason. "I never made a list of ultimatums," Brown said, responding to Celtics analyst Brian Scalabrine's claim, per The Athletic.

Why it matters: Brown now plays for Philadelphia after the offseason deal, and the circumstances of his exit from Boston have stayed in the conversation since. Scalabrine had already walked back the trade-demand claim ahead of the Celtics-Bulls game, citing the $140M extension decision behind Boston's move.

What to watch: Watch for any further comment from Brown or the Celtics on how the trade came together.
