Sources: Celtics sending Brown to 76ers for George, picks - ESPN

Jaylen Brown has a new home, as the Boston Celtics agreed to send the former NBA Finals MVP to the Philadelphia 76ers in a blockbuster trade Wednesday, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

The 76ers are sending Paul George, two first-round picks (2028, 2031) and two second-round selections (2028, 2030) to Boston to complete the deal, sources said.

Brown's future in Boston had been in question in recent weeks. The Celtics attempted to trade him and two unprotected first-round picks to the Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Milwaukee instead agreed to a trade with Miami.

Jaylen Brown is the 5th player to be traded within 3 seasons of winning NBA Finals MVP:

Boston had spent recent days looking elsewhere for a trade partner, with sources telling Charania that the team was «full-blown shopping» Brown around the league by Wednesday. Sources also told Charania that Brown never requested a trade out of Boston.

The draft picks going to Boston in the deal have the following parameters, sources told Charania:

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

• The 2031 selection is an unprotected Philadelphia first

• The 2028 second-round pick is the most favorable of the Warriors, Thunder and Bucks

• The 2030 second-rounder is the most favorable of the Wizards, Trail Blazers and Suns

Brown leaves Boston as a five-time All-Star as well as the 2024 Eastern Conference finals and NBA Finals MVP in helping Boston win its 18th championship.

Brown, who will turn 30 in October, is coming off a career season. He finished sixth in MVP voting and was a second-team All-NBA selection while leading the Celtics to a 56-win season. He averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game —
