Jaylen Brown traded from Boston Celtics to Philadelphia 76ers, ESPN reports
The Sixers add a five-time All-Star and Finals MVP to pair with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in a win-now move, ESPN reported.
- On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the Boston Celtics traded five-time All-Star Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for veteran Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks.
- The move followed Boston's failed pursuit of Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, where Brown was reportedly dangled as the primary trade asset before Milwaukee pivoted to a deal with the Miami Heat.
- Brown expressed feeling disrespected by the trade process, stating he was "still processing how this all went down" after a decade-long tenure that included the 2024 NBA championship.
- With the acquisition, Philadelphia reshapes its roster around All-Star Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe, positioning the team to chase their first championship title since 1983.
- Boston, having signed Mitchell Robinson, saw championship odds fall from +700 to 10-1, drawing significant criticism from fans and analysts over the departure of its franchise cornerstone.
