The Celtics have moved on from Jaylen Brown. Boston’s longtime star is headed to the 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks.
It’s a stunning move that will be felt immensely once the Celtics step on the floor next season. Brown is fresh off a career year where he averaged 28.7 points per game—the fourth most in the NBA behind only Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards. The scoring outburst came with career-high volume, mostly thanks to the Jayson Tatum-sized hole the Celtics dealt with for the majority of the season.
