Hello and welcome to an emergency episode of NBA Daily. I'm Zena Kada joined by S. Berheny and Dave DeFore. And y'all know we have to go live to understand what in the world just happened in the NBA atmosphere. Jalen Brown. is headed to the Sixers. And let's break us all down in terms of what the Celtics are going to be getting, what the Sixers are going to be getting. Make sense of this. We're kind of like David Aldridge, who's right now in our live blog saying, 30 minutes later, I'm still trying to make sense of this. We are all here to do this in community. So let's break it down. S, first and foremost, lay out the trade. What are the 76ers going to get? And what are the Celtics going to get?
Yeah, so the 76ers are getting Jalen Brown, as you guys all know, 2024 Finals MVP, All-NBA player. Thank you very much. It is a nice shirt, Coco. Appreciate you. And the Philadelphia 76ers, or the Boston Celtics, excuse me, are going to be getting Paul George, a first-round pick in 2028, which could be a swap. It's the most favorable between the Clippers and the Sixers, which could be a pretty good pick. The first... pick first round pick in 2031, an unprotected first round pick and two second round picks in 2028 and 2030. So to, to summarize that Paul George, two first round picks, two second round picks for Jalen Brown. And one of those first might be a swap depending on the protections. And one of those first might be a swap depending on the protections.
So this is like a dump. This is like a dump. I mean, the Paul George contract is not good. Paul George was fine as a role player for them last year, but this is such a drop off in talent.
He's making $110 million over the next two years, including a player option.
OK, so wait, let's back up and see real quick. I want to kind of set the stage of what the mindset might be in Philadelphia. Of course, over the last few years, especially since the arrival of Joel Embiid, it's been trust the process, trust the process. And it wasn't until really last year, or not last year, this past season that just ended, Paul George comes back after that suspension. And we're starting to see pieces put together for the 76ers. Tyrese Maxey's looking good. Vijay Etcham's looking good. Kelly Oubre's playing well. Paul George was playing really well. And of course, Joel Embiid came back from injury and was playing well during the playoffs.
What exactly was the Jalen Brown for Paul George trade and who received which assets?
And it felt as if, okay, maybe another year, maybe another two years, but now you get rid of your upcoming future in terms of these picks. I don't think it's that.
No, this is a great trade for Philadelphia. You got off the Paul George money. The picks that you gave up, listen, you're not worried about that anyway. I think Jalen Brown will be 35 and Embiid will be 37 and maybe not even on the team. This is a team that's going to be able to compete in the East. As long as Embiid, if he can be healthy, they're going to be very competitive in the East. They're really, really good.
What I'm saying – my question is – And they signed Dean Wade.
Their starting lineup is really solid. Oh, I mean, I think that the process ended a while ago. You know, like, I mean, remember James Harden's been through there. You know, they get Paul George. I think that we're well past the process years. And this is a team that – you know, look, they just made a front office change. Mm-hmm. I think Mike Gansey comes over from Cleveland. We're going to have to call him Magic Mike. This guy pulled off a heist on this. He pulled Jalen Brown out of his hat. And then again, I think the Dean Wade signing, this team now is really set up to compete big time. Win now, though. Yes, win now. You've got win now players as far as I'm concerned. Embiid has been a win now guy. And, you know, I think you've got to win now with him.
You're not thinking about the future. You want to win this season, right? Every year with him. And then I think Maxie is ready to go. You know, the funny thing is, like, you kind of luck into Vijay Edge come last year, you know, in the draft.
