âTo be honest, weird. Itâs weird,â Tatum said, according to Celtics Blog. âYou play on a team with a guy for nine years. I was fortunate enough to go to the finals with him twice, and win a championship, and push each other to be the players that we are today.â
Tatum went into the business side of the game, noting that could be the downside of playing in a league like the NBA.
Despite the Celtics investing hundreds of millions of dollars into Brown, they ultimately decided that they needed to move on.

“Moments like this, where you just kind of feel like youâre going to be on the team with somebody, because thatâs all you know, and then itâs just like, one day you find out that theyâre no longer on your team anymore,” Tatum continued.
“Weâre all humans. We feel all those emotions. Going into the facility, and knowing that you have different teammates, and somebody that youâve been to war with, essentially, is on a different team, it’s tough.”
