The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers, sending Brown to Philadelphia in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks. The trade shocked many in the NBA community as Brown, a key player in the Celtics' recent championship run, did not request a trade. Brown is eligible for a two-year contract extension worth an estimated $142 million after July 26, 2026. His next chapter with the 76ers raises questions about whether the team will offer him this extension given the presence of stars Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
