Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was at it again on Twitch this weekend, responding in real time to being named to the All-NBA Second Team instead of the first.

"I'm not the most liked (by) fans or (by) media. Sometimes I use my platform a little controversial, so I'm surprised I'm on any team, let alone first or second... I'm grateful. God is the greatest... I'm grateful for everything. I'm not surprised... I know who I am...I'm surprised I win awards at all sometimes."

While these comments are fairly benign, they do represent a bit of a pattern for Brown, who has spoken his mind quite a bit over the last few years. Brown has been in an on-again, off-again feud with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and previously had thoughts about why he was kept off the 2024 Paris Olympic team that eventually won gold.

Brown also made remarks this offseason about the playstyle of Joel Embiid, and he's been critical of NBA officiating.

And FOX Sports Radio personality Jason McIntyre is wondering if this willingness to speak his mind could cause the Celtics to move Brown out of town this offseason.

McIntyre was filling in for Colin Cowherd on 'The Herd,' and said "At what point does the complaining just wear on management?"

First off, no one in Boston is saying that Brown is a complainer, or that he's a distraction in any way, but the fact is this:

How good a player is dictates how long a leash they get with this stuff. Teams will tolerate an awful lot if a player is good, and Brown is. He averaged 28.7 ppg this season, helping the Celtics get to the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference even in a year of transition for the roster. In addition to his Second-Team selection, he finished sixth in the MVP voting.

He's a former NBA Finals MVP and a five-time All-Star. Yes, he speaks his mind, but he's very good, and teams will always put up with that until you stop being very good.

After a disappointing exit from the NBA playoffs, the Celtics are clearly going to look to upgrade their roster. Because of the money invested in Brown, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White, the Celtics really can't afford to sign massively expensive free agents, so they are going to have to look to the trade market.

If they are acquiring an uber-talented player in return, the other team will likely want an uber-talented player back, meaning the Celtics would have to trade one of Brown or Tatum in order to get them. If they trade Brown, it won't be because he was a distraction, it will be for basketball reasons, and the financial reasons that come with them.

If a team doesn't require one of Tatum or Brown in return, then Boston will have to give up most of the rest of its core players like White, Sam Hauser, and Payton Pritchard. Is that worth it to them? They'll have to figure that out internally. 

The Celtics might trade Brown this offseason, but it won't be because Brown has been outspoken. He's been outspoken before and the Celtics have poured into him - and won with him. It will be for basketball reasons and the desire to get a different mix on the court.
