In the quiet arithmetic of professional basketball, the Boston Celtics parted ways with Jaylen Brown this week — not because he had failed, but because the organization had arrived at a different understanding of what success looks like. Brown averaged 28.7 points a game, led his team to 56 wins, and called it the finest season of his career; the front office, looking at the same season through a different lens, saw something else. It is an old and humbling story: the gap between how we see ourselves and how we are seen by those who hold the keys.
