Celtics trade Jaylen Brown to 76ers for Paul George and draft picks

The Boston Celtics have traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks. This trade marks the end of Brown's tenure in Boston, where he played for a decade and was instrumental in leading the team to multiple playoff appearances and a championship in 2024. The Celtics' decision comes after a disappointing postseason and follows speculation about a possible trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, which ultimately did not materialize. Brown, who averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists last season, joins the 76ers to team up with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, enhancing Philadelphia’s forward position for the upcoming season.
