Another day, another blockbuster move in the NBA.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics are sending former NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for forward Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks.
This ends several weeks of trade rumours involving Brown, who is coming off the best season of his career.
In 71 games, Brown averaged a career-best 28.7 points per game on .477 per cent shooting. Brown helped lead the Celtics to an NBA Championship just two years earlier alongside Jayson Tatum.
George, now 36, averaged 17.3 points per game on .439 shooting last season.
More to come.
