Summary
Boston agreed Wednesday to send 2024 NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown to Philadelphia for Paul George, 2028 and 2031 first-round picks, and two future second-rounders.
Brown’s exit follows weeks of uncertainty after he was the centerpiece of Boston’s failed Giannis Antetokounmpo bid, with league sources saying he had grown frustrated with the Celtics’ approach.
The move ends Brown’s 10-year Celtics tenure after a season in which he finished sixth in MVP voting and helped lead Boston while Jayson Tatum missed months with an Achilles injury.
Boston kept reshaping its roster on the second day of free agency, agreeing to a three-year, $47.4 million deal with center Mitchell Robinson and a one-year contract with veteran guard Mike Conley Jr.
