Summary
Jaylen Brown said he is "excited and disappointed" after Boston sent him to Philadelphia in a blockbuster deal that cannot be made official until Monday.
Boston will receive Paul George, first-round picks in 2028 and 2031, and second-rounders in 2028 and 2030 for the 29-year-old forward.
Brown leaves after a career year: 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, plus a sixth-place MVP finish and second-team All-NBA honors.
His future in Boston had been uncertain for weeks after the Celtics explored moving him in a failed bid to land Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was ultimately traded to Miami.
The trade ends Brown's title-winning run with Boston, where he was the 2024 Eastern Conference finals and NBA Finals MVP during the franchise's 18th championship.
