Summary

The Boston Celtics have traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers, shocking many in the NBA. The trade, which also included Paul George coming to Boston along with draft picks, has led to speculation about Brown's role on a star-studded 76ers roster that now features Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and LeBron James. Celtics insider Bill Simmons stated that Brown may be 'the fourth-best player' on his new team.
