The NBA trade market has been going DUMMY! The best and most hilarious reactions to the blockbuster Jaylen Brown-Paul George are below.<\/p>\n
In a stunning trade no one saw coming, the Celtics traded Brown to the 76ers on Wednesday in exchange for Paul George, two first-round draft picks, and two second-rounders.<\/p>\n
The Celtics will receive a 2028 first-round pick that could convert from a first to a swap that is more favorable to Boston, a 2031 unprotected Philadelphia first, a 2028 second-round pick that is most favorable of Golden State\/OKC\/Milwaukee, and a 2030 second that\u2019s most favorable of Washington\/Portland\/Phoenix, Charania says.<\/p>\n
An anonymous GM went as far to call the trade a \u201chighway robbery\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was highway robbery,\u201d an anonymous GM told basketball analyst\u00a0Jeff Goodman<\/a>. \u201cI have no idea what Brad Stevens was thinking. The Celtics will be lucky to get in the play-in next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt says everything about JB\u2019s trade value right now,\u201d another general manager\u00a0added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Some greatest reactions on Twitter are below:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Brad Stevens leaving his office after trading Jaylen Brown for Paul George pic.twitter.com\/F4fpjuytlF<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA Memes (@NBAMemes) July 2, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Jaylen Brown spent all summer calling Embiid a flopper<\/p>\n Now they\u2019re teammates \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d pic.twitter.com\/KJOdALmvqa<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 BrickCenter (@BrickCenter_) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 76ers trading Paul George for Jaylen Brown pic.twitter.com\/xWFDUGdlFt<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 PrizePicks (@PrizePicks) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Say what you want about \u201cwashed\u201d Paul George but against Jaylen Brown head to head and in 7 straight games, he looked like prime PG. pic.twitter.com\/Ro3BQRyhos<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jordan Moore (@iJordanMoore) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n BREAKING:<\/p>\n The NBA has now traded Paul George for:<\/p>\n Shai Gilgeous-Alexander And<\/p>\n 7 1st round picks plus 4 pick swaps<\/p>\n Paul George is the Most Valuable Player in NBA history.<\/p>\n \u2014 Carmichael Dave (@CarmichaelDave) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Brad Stevens facetiming Jaylen Brown to tell him the Celtics traded him to the Sixers pic.twitter.com\/lV7cvawNl6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Josiah Johnson (@KingJosiah54) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Joel Embiid to Jaylen Brown on the first day of Sixers training camp pic.twitter.com\/IuyyAv47gn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA Memes (@NBAMemes) July 2, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sure sounds like the Celtics just said they have no fear of Jaylen Brown \u2013 just as they always indicated he wasn\u2019t as important as Jayson Tatum. THEY JUST TRADED JAYLEN BROWN TO A DIVISION RIVAL WHO CAME FROM 3-1 DOWN TO KNOCK \u2018EM OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS. Bad idea, Celtics.<\/p>\n \u2014 Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Sixers just got better. The Celtics just got worse. Philly just got a highly motivated superstar \u2013 a Jaylen Brown who has always been underrated\/underappreciated. Boston got an aging Paul George. Philly>>>Boston.<\/p>\n \u2014 Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) July 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Some further reactions from Celtics fans, via WCVB<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI think Jaylen Brown, what he did for the city, what he did for the people, the organization, bringing a Finals MVP was everything, and trading him away for Paul George\u2014I don\u2019t know about that one. That\u2019s a bummer,\u201d Angelo Sepe of Revere said.<\/p>\n Ivan Deiko of North Reading said, \u201cWe all hate the Sixers. It\u2019s probably the worst team he could have gone to\u2014like, we blew a 3-1 lead. It\u2019s horrible. This is a really bad day.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: Jaylen Brown Heads to Philly in Blockbuster Trade<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
