Jaylen Brown has been traded from the Celtics to the 76ers, in exchange for Paul George and multiple draft picks. This trade is part of a significant offseason reshuffle in the NBA, coming after Brown's successful tenure in Boston, where he was a five-time All-Star and the 2024 NBA Finals MVP. Brown joins forces with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in Philadelphia, while George's move to Boston ends a disappointing two-year stint with the 76ers marked by underwhelming performance and a suspension for a failed drug test. These trades add to a series of major player movements, including LeBron James's departure from the Lakers.
- •Brown leaves Boston after 10 years, making two All-Star teams in that time.
- •George averaged 16.7 points during his two seasons with the 76ers.
- •The trade helps form a new core for the 76ers alongside Embiid and Maxey.
- •Multiple high-profile trades have occurred this summer, including LeBron James's exit from the Lakers.
"Celtics star Jaylen Brown has been traded to the 76ers for Paul George, two first round picks and two second round picks as the NBA's dizzying summer of moves rages on.
