Jaylen Brown on the Sixers' offseason: "On paper, we're excellent. We have a lot of talent compared to other teams in the league ... I'm aware it can go either way." Adds that leadership and "real work" will be crucial to making that work on the court.

Jaylen Brown on if he’s had a chance to talk to Jayson Tatum since the trade: “Not really.”
Jaylen Brown when asked about him and LeBron joining the established Maxey/Embiid: "I want to earn everybody's respect and trust, and that takes time. ... my approach has always been my work ethic."
