Carmelo Anthony Details Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum's 'Final' Interaction Before Celtics-76ers Trade

In late June, before Jaylen Brown was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, both he and Jayson Tatum attended the Cannes Sports Beach Event after-party.

But according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, Brown—who was on the trade block at the time—reportedly asked to be seated at a VIP table with Carmelo Anthony after being informed that Tatum was also at the event.

"I thought [Brown] felt awkward about something going on," Anthony said. "He didn't know what was going on at the time. I know JT was on the other side. I know Jaylen [wanted to speak with Jayson] but he didn't know what to do. I just told him, 'Why don't you just go over there to JT?' "He was like, 'Man, I don't know where we are at. Do you mind if I just stay here?' I was like, 'Of course.'"
