Celtics trade Jaylen Brown to 76ers, consider acquiring Trey Murphy III
Summary

The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George and draft picks on July 1, 2026. With the return for Brown seen as insufficient, speculation arises about the Celtics targeting Trey Murphy III, who has valuable skills and was previously of interest to the Los Angeles Lakers. Murphy averaged 21.5 points per game last season and could enhance Boston's roster. The Celtics might explore using their new draft capital to pursue him in the coming weeks.
