Celtics Trade Jaylen Brown for Future Flexibility | Boston Celtics News
Description
The Celtics just pulled off a jaw-dropping trade, sending Jaylen Brown to the Sixers for Paul George and draft picks — a move Brad Stevens admits isn’t popular, but it’s all about flexibility. With Brown’s massive contract and Tatum’s looming payday, the front office needed more optionality. They’d preferred a West Coast team to avoid annual matchups, but the Sixers’ offer won out. This isn’t just basketball — it’s a financial strategy, part of a broader cost-cutting push that’s already seen Porzingis and Holiday go. Stevens admits it’s a tough pill to swallow, but says they’re betting George can elevate the team. Whether it works? “We’ll find out.”
