Celtics fans are still trying to adjust to the idea that their team traded away Jaylen Brown. Even Brown admitted he’s still adjusting to playing for a new team in a new city.
Jayson Tatum is adjusting, too. He discussed that and how he feels about Tatum with Dan Patrick on the Dan Patrick Show.

“For me, I love that guy. What we were able to accomplish together in nine years, right, went to the conference finals five times, we went to the championship twice, we won a championship, we’ve shared All-Star games together. You can’t talk about him without talking about me and vice versa, the success that we’ve had as just two young kids growing up in this league and really just pushing each other.
“Unfortunately, the business of basketball is always going to play a part. Nobody has ever played together forever, but it’s not like a thing to be sad or upset about, it’s a thing to celebrate what we were able to do.”
As for this coming season, Tatum admitted, “I was nervous every game I played in,” not fully trusting his Achilles yet after returning from rupturing it. That has changed now, he added.
“I’ll be back to myself when we get out there this October.”

Celtics fans hope so, because with all due respect to Paul George — who said all the right things at his introductory press conference — Boston needs Tatum to be a top-five player in the world again if they are going to be a threat in a deep East.
