Sweat Dissolves Water is saddened to note that the Boston Celtics have traded five-time All-Star and 2024 Finals MVP Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for 36-year-old Paul George and two future first-round draft picks.
It's almost enough to make us want to switch allegiances to some other team.
After winning an NBA Championship and then rebuilding after Jayson Tatum's 2025 injury, the Celtics have apparently decided to emulate the Red Sox and trade away their top talent (to a division rival, no less), prioritizing front-office profit over winning.
I'm no Nostradamus, but here's a sneak preview of the Celtics' future: they will finish third in the Atlantic Division behind the Knicks and the Sixers in the 2026-27 season, miss the playoffs, and then things will go downhill from there. We'll soon be looking back at the 2013-14 season (25-57) with fondness.
The pride of Marietta, Georgia, Brown attended Wheeler High School. He lead Wheeler to a 30-3 record in his senior year and to victory in the Georgia Class 6A State Championship. The Celtics are the only NBA team for whom he's played. Celtics' management has done him dirty and are showing callous disregard for their fans.
We here at Sweat Dissolves Water are biologically incapable for cheering for the Knicks or the Sixers. Fuck them. There's also no way we're getting on board with the Lakers, Warriors, or Spurs. Can we swallow our pride and cheer for our hometown Atlanta Hawks? I doubt it - they're a heart-break team. Jokić's not enough for us to support the Nuggets, so I guess we're stuck with our old friends Jrue Holiday, Timelord Robert Williams III, and the Portland Trailblazers?
Go, Blazers? No, that doesn't feel right.
We're sickened and saddened and shocked. Thank you for your years here, Jaylen, and thank you for the 18th banner. You'll be missed.
