Jaylen Brown focuses on winning and sacrifice after trade to Philadelphia 76ers

Jaylen Brown, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP, was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers in July 2024. The Celtics received Paul George and four draft picks (first‑round selections in 2028 and 2031, second‑round selections in 2028 and 2030). Brown was introduced at a press conference held at the Francis J. Myers Recreation Center in Southwest Philadelphia. He said he tossed his phone across the room when he first learned of the trade and expressed disappointment with how the Celtics handled the process, but emphasized that he holds “nothing but respect” for former teammate Jayson Tatum, noting they have barely spoken since the move.

Brown stressed that his priority in Philadelphia is “winning” and that the talent‑laden Sixers roster – featuring LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe – will require sacrifice, communication and teamwork. He spoke about learning from James and committing to the work needed to contend for a championship. The former Celtics star also visited the Philadelphia Eagles training camp, underscoring his embrace of the city’s broader sports community.
