Sixers land Jaylen Brown in blockbuster Celtics swap

TL;DR
The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George plus two first-round picks (2028 and 2031 via PHI) and two second-round picks (2028 and 2030). The deal, initially reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania and corroborated by The Athletic and The Boston Globe, ends Brown’s 10-year Celtics tenure after five All-Star appearances; Brown posted career-best numbers this past season and will pair with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in Philadelphia, while Boston retools around George.
