Team USA's World Cup Run Ends + Why Did The Celtics Trade Jaylen Brown?

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss why the Boston Celtics may have traded Jaylen Brown and Team USA's loss last night. Belgium ended the United States' 2026 FIFA World Cup run with a convincing 4-1 victory in the Round of 16. The loss ended the United States' World Cup campaign, with defensive mistakes and missed opportunities proving too much to overcome. Did Team USA underachieve, overachieve? Is this a disappointment? Is this USA's ceiling? Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens said recently in a press conference, that the team's decision to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers was driven by the need for greater salary cap flexibility rather than dissatisfaction with Brown as a player. Is this the truth? Do you believe Brad Stevens and Celtics owner Bill Chisholm? Why was Brown traded?
