Home Breaking News NBA summer trade 2026: Blockbuster deal sends Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown to Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George to reshuffle rosters
The Boston Celtics traded 2024 Finals MVP Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers on July 1, 2026, in exchange for Paul George and four draft picks, ending Brown’s 10-season run in Boston. The deal follows the collapse of Boston’s pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who instead went to Miami, and comes after the Celtics blew a 3-1 playoff series lead to Philadelphia. Brown, 29, joins Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in Philadelphia, while the 36-year-old George heads to Boston alongside two first-round and two second-round picks. ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the trade.
