Reese and Alex discuss Celtics trading Jaylen Brown.

The Boston Celtics have reportedly traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round draft picks, and two second-round picks. The deal marks the end of Brown's successful decade in Boston, where he won an NBA championship, earned Finals MVP honors and became a five-time All-Star. In return, the Celtics add veteran forward Paul George and valuable future draft assets, while the 76ers strengthen their roster by pairing Brown with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. The blockbuster trade is expected to have a major impact on the balance of power in the Eastern Conference. What happened? Why did the Celtics do this?
