In the stunner of the offseason, Jaylen Brown is headed to the 76ers after a bizarre end to his 10-year tenure with the Celtics. Boston offered Brown to the Bucks in its efforts to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Milwaukee went with the Heat’s more future-focused trade package.
As Brown came off a career season where he finished fourth in scoring, it was presumed that Boston dangled the star solely because a player like Antetokounmpo was available. When that pursuit fell through, the Celtics continued to shop the star and eventually landed on an underwhelming trade package from a rival to send him out of town.
