- Which players are involved in the Celtics-Sixers trade?
- Jaylen Brown arrives in Philadelphia. In exchange, the Celtics receive Paul George, Marcus Morris, and three future draft rounds (a protected first round in 2029, two second rounds in 2027 and 2029), as well as a second round in 2030 and financial compensation.
- Why are Celtics fans angry?
- Jaylen Brown was their offensive leader and an iconic figure. His departure, coupled with the arrival of Paul George (a player controversial for his lack of loyalty), was seen as a betrayal by part of the fanbase.
- What impact does this trade have on the Sixers?
- The Sixers instantly become Eastern Conference favorites with an Embiid-Brown duo capable of competing with the reigning champions, the Nuggets. Their window for a title is widening, but the pressure is also mounting.
- What does Kendrick Perkins say about this exchange?
- The former Celtics center called the trade *"one of the stupidest in NBA history"*, criticizing the cost of assets for Boston and the lack of guarantee on Brown's longevity.
- Does Brad Stevens take this trade?
- Yes. The Celtics manager said he did "what we thought was best for the future of the franchise" despite the shock to fans and the loss of a key player.
- Will Joel Embiid be affected by the arrival of Brown?
- His role could evolve, particularly in attack where Brown will bring a new dimension. Embiid, already recovering, will have to adapt to a new system with two complementary stars.
