The Philadelphia 76ers made a significant trade on July 1, acquiring Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Paul George and several draft picks. The trade is drawing significant attention, especially as reports indicate the 76ers are also targeting LeBron James in free agency. Dawn Staley, a Philadelphia native and South Carolina Gamecocks coach, expressed her enthusiasm on social media, highlighting Brown's potential impact on the 76ers.
