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

The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Paul George, along with two first-round and two second-round picks. Brown, a five-time All-Star who averaged 28.7 points in 71 games last season, leaves Boston after the 76ers eliminated them from the playoffs while George, who played just 37 games last season, heads to the Celtics. The trade drastically alters the rosters, particularly for Boston, as they now focus on rebuilding around Jayson Tatum. This significant move is expected to shift the dynamics in the Eastern Conference.
