LAS VEGAS \u2014 In his first remarks since the startling trade of star guard Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Thursday that he is \u201cstill processing\u201d the franchise\u2019s decision but has faith in president of basketball operations Brad Stevens\u2019 vision for the team.<\/p>\n

The Celtics sent Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> for Paul George and draft capital. Mazzulla said many factors on and off the court contributed to such a major decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen something like that happens, it\u2019s not a black-and-white type of thing,\u201d Mazzulla said after the Celtics\u2019 summer league practice Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe part that I hope gets talked about more, and the part that we really want to focus on the most, is really just the respect, the appreciation and the gratitude for what he did for the Celtics for 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a Celtic longer than I have been. He was here before me. He set the tone and started that, and was a part of special things, and continued that, and obviously was one of the biggest reasons why we were able to be as successful as we have been. So that to me is what we have to focus on more: The respect as a competitor and the gratitude for what he\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n
