Summary
Less than 24 hours after the deal, Jaylen Brown posted a public letter saying he was “excited and disappointed at the same time” after Boston traded him to Philadelphia.
The 29-year-old thanked Boston for the 10 years he spent in the city, saying he earned respect there by showing up every day and embracing every challenge.
Wednesday’s trade sent Brown to the 76ers, while the Celtics received 36-year-old forward Paul George and several draft picks.
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey added to the farewell, thanking Brown for his impact on the court, in communities and on younger fans, and telling him he would always have a home in Boston.
