Celtics Hall of Famer Robert Parish says he is unhappy with Boston’s decision to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. In comments reported by Yahoo Sports, Parish describes his reaction as immediate and links the move to a past high-profile trade involving Luka Doncic. Parish says that when he first heard about the Brown trade, his first thought was the Mavericks’ earlier decision to move Doncic, which he characterizes as a “historically bad move.”
Across the reporting, Parish frames his critique as a judgment about how the Celtics handled the transaction rather than a discussion of specific on-court details from either team. The comparison underscores his view that Boston’s choice has echoes of a deal that, in his perspective, did not work out for the franchise that made it. The articles reflect Parish’s personal disappointment and his belief that trading Brown has the same kind of long-term risk as the earlier Doncic trade.
