What to know about Sixers trading for Jaylen Brown<\/p>\n

The Sixers landed Brown<\/a> in a blockbuster deal that sent Paul George<\/a> and four draft picks, including two first-rounders, to the Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n

Brown, who will turn 30 years old in October, was named NBA Finals MVP in 2024 when the Celtics won the title over the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n

Brown is a five-time All-Star and earned All-NBA Second Team honors twice in his career, including last season.<\/p>\n

In the 2025-26 season, Brown averaged a career-high 28.7 points for the Celtics with fellow star wing Jayson Tatum sidelined for most of the year with an Achilles injury. Brown helped lead the Celtics to a 56-win season and finished sixth in MVP voting. He also averaged 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists and shot about 35% on 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

Brown and the Celtics were knocked out of the playoffs<\/a> last season when they blew a 3-1 series lead against the Sixers in the first round.<\/p>\n

After he was traded to Philadelphia, Brown said he felt disrespected by the Celtics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Boston, they packed me up,” Brown said.<\/p>\n

How Jaylen Brown helped Sixers land LeBron James<\/p>\n

When the Sixers landed Brown, it “changed everything”<\/a> in their pursuit of LeBron James<\/a>, who signed a two-year deal with the team in July in his “final decision.”<\/p>\n

James picked the Sixers over teams<\/a> like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves because he believes Philadelphia has the best chance at winning a championship.<\/p>\n

“I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time,” James wrote on X when he announced he was signing with the Sixers.<\/p>\n

James and Brown were the top two moves made by new Sixers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey in the offseason. Gansey also made several others that rebuilt Philadelphia’s roster weeks into the job.<\/p>\n

Gansey, who replaced\u00a0Daryl Morey<\/a>\u00a0in May, began free agency by signing former Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade<\/a> and ex-New York Knicks center Ariel Hukporti.<\/p>\n

After landing Brown, the Sixers added scoring to their bench by inking veteran scoring guard\u00a0Anfernee Simons<\/a>\u00a0to a two-year contract.<\/p>\n

Once the team signed James, the Sixers added one of his former teammates,\u00a0Kentavious Caldwell-Pope<\/a>, on a one-year deal. The move became official Wednesday. Caldwell-Pope<\/a> won a championship with James on the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2020 bubble.<\/p>\n

Before free agency, Gansey and the Sixers selected University of\u00a0Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr.<\/a>\u00a0with the 22nd overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft.<\/p>\n
