The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers on July 1, 2026, in exchange for Paul George, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick, a 2028 first-round pick that could convert, and two second-round picks. The Celtics had previously attempted to trade Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo but pivoted to Philadelphia after the Bucks opted for a Miami Heat deal. Sources indicate that Boston aimed for a stronger package but ultimately settled for less, citing Brown's hefty contract and recent playoff exit as significant factors. The trade reshapes both teams as the 76ers strengthen their championship aspirations, while the Celtics look to reconfigure their roster for the future.
