Jaylen Brown<\/a> is no longer a member of the Boston Celtics. The Celtics have traded Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers, league sources confirmed to CBS Philadelphia. \u00a0<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Shams Charania<\/a>\u00a0first reported the deal, which he said sends Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks to Boston.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN, the 2028 first-round pick could convert from a first to a swap that is more favorable to Boston. The deal also reportedly gives the Celtics a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and conditional 2028 and 2030 second-round selections.<\/p>\n

Brown’s days with the Celtics appeared to be numbered when Boston offered him and draft picks to the Milwaukee Bucks for\u00a0Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>. Antetokounmpo was later traded to the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

Following that trade, rumors persisted that Brown was still on the trading block.<\/p>\n

Brown was the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. He averaged 20.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in 10 seasons, all in Boston. Brown made five All-Star teams and was named second-team All-NBA<\/a> twice.<\/p>\n

When the Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks in 2024 to win the franchise’s 18th championship, Brown averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5 assists on his way to being named Finals MVP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Jayson Tatum missing nearly all of the 2025-26 season while recovering from a torn Achilles, Brown had the best season of his career. He scored 28.7 points per game and finished sixth in the MVP voting.<\/p>\n

Tatum returned late in the regular season, but the Celtics blew a 3-1 series lead against the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

After the series ended, Brown ripped Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid<\/a> for his flopping. Now, the two are teammates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the disappointing end to the season in Boston, Brown said on his Twitch stream that “this was my favorite year<\/a>,” a comment that drew some backlash from Celtics fans. Brown later doubled down on the comment, explaining that the Celtics were counted out with Tatum hurt, and they exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n

After the first round of this year’s NBA Draft, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said<\/a> he still viewed Brown as part of the team’s future.<\/p>\n

“Jaylen Brown is a big part of us. I don’t want to predict the future. I look at it as this is our team,” Stevens said.<\/p>\n

Brown, meanwhile, had a message on his Twitch stream hours before Antetokounmpo was traded to Miami. <\/p>\n

“To all the people that’s doubted me, that want me to do this, or want me, you’re turning me into a monster,” Brown said.<\/p>\n
