- Despite Brown's strong performance, the Celtics appeared determined to move on, previously exploring trades involving Giannis Antetokounmpo and LaMelo Ball.
- Reports suggest internal issues, including Brown's frequent Twitch streams and his belief that he was on par with teammate Jayson Tatum, may have contributed to the decision.
- While Brown's streams caused some headaches for the front office, they had not significantly harmed the organization, and there is no clear evidence of locker room discord.
