Brad Stevens Under Fire After Blockbuster Jaylen Brown Trade

Stevens, who went from leading the Celtics as head coach to leading their front office, is being questioned for the management of Brown as an asset.

The Celtics first tried to trade Brown to Milwaukee for Giannis. However, that didn't work out, as the Bucks chose a trade package from Miami instead.

Now, with Brown being upset, the Celtics felt that they needed to trade him. But they settled for a questionable package featuring a 36-year-old Paul George and multiple draft picks.

NBA fans questioning Brad Stevens' decision making

Stevens is getting ripped apart for the trade...and probably rightfully so.

"This is absurd. We went from Giannis to Paul George. Thank you for everything Jaylen, Boston loves you forever and you don’t deserve the (expletive) that happened this offseason. Brad Stevens has a lot of questions to answer," one Celtics fan wrote.

"Are the Celtics OK? Is Brad Stevens alive?" one fan added.

"I am beyond SHOCKED Brad Stevens did this trade," Jeff Goodman wrote.

Just days ago, Goodman was boasting that Stevens typically plays "chess" while everyone else is playing "checkers."

"Let’s not crush Brad Stevens yet. Let’s give him a chance to see how this thing plays out. Usually, he is playing chess while others play checkers," he said.

It doesn't look like a very good game of chess right now, though.

Boston Celtics fans are understandably furious.
