BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

Not even so e swaps. Yikes that isn't a great return at all

[JBcat]

What?!?! This doesn?t seem real.

[Atzar]

Man, that?s hard to take.

[perks-a-beast]

No interest in following this team anymore. Taking at least the year off.

[celticinorlando]

That is horrendous.

Just made Philly a top 2 team in the conference and weakened your own team.

Traded him within the division.

ABSOLUTE failure by Brad

[A Future of Stevens]

Honestly I don't get it.

[Donoghus]

What the hell just happened

[Celtics2021]

I cannot defend this trade.  Will not try.

[celticinorlando]

Even the picks are ass


-- 2028 first-round pick that could convert from a first to a swap that is more favorable to Boston

-- 2031 unprotected Philadelphia first

-- 2028 second round, most favorable of GSW/OKC/MIL

-- 2030 second, most favorable of WAS/PORT/PHX

[Redz]

Heh???

@Moranis - Please help us. Tell us why George is actually a better player by the advanced stats than Brown.

[RodyTur10]

I would have preferred someone younger. Or more picks. Or someone who can still penetrate a defense.
Not a great trade. Still a good player, but George is getting really old and injury prone.
If Embiid will be somewhat healthy these picks will probably not be that great.

There clearly was not much of a market for Brown. Glad this burden is over and we can move on.
Overall George is a good professional, so despite him having a bit of a similar profile as Brown I think he'll work well with Tatum and our defense might even get better now.

lol wow. An aging injury prone PG, 2 lousy first rounders and trade him to a division rival. Fire Brad!

[celticinorlando]

Philly going to be a wagon next season
