Jaylen Brown is the hottest thing smoking in Philadelphia. There are finally learn the details of how the blockbuster trade went down.
When the Philadelphia 76ers traded away All-Star Paul George and a few draft picks to the Boston Celtics for MVP candidate Jaylen Brown, it turned the media world upside down.
Now that things have settled down and the introductory press conferences have ended. We now know how this trade went down. 76ers President Mike Gansey spoke with reporters and explained how much of a process this whole situation was. He detailed how they communicated after Philadelphia signed former Cavaliers forward Dean Wade.
Once the signing happened, Boston and Philadelphia continued talking, and the two went back and forth over time. Gansey gave credit to Celtics’ President Brad Stevens in the efforts to get this deal done. He then commended George and mentioned how he still had some game left in him.
This is just a little insight into what goes into trade of this magnitude. How both sides have to be willing to give a little to get what they both want. The biggest thing to take away here is how this trade led to the signing of forward LeBron James. If the two rivals don't agree on the trade, there’s a chance James chooses to go elsewhere.
This could mean that Brown is going to be more of a factor for the team than many may think. This could make him the core piece to the Big 4. There is substantial proof that this team is pulling out all the stops as two of their stars are on their last leg of their career. James is clearly running out of time. Meanwhile, their former MVP Joel Embiid is getting to the end of his contract with the team.
If things begin to go south, it would mean having to essentially blow up the team. Or maybe it could lead to another blockbuster trade. If we learned anything about this information, it’s that when it comes to improving the team, no franchise is off-limits. A team desperate to win will go make it a priority to exhaust every option possible.
It’s win now for the Sixers; anything else would be a complete failure. Brown has already made a great impression with his team and fanbase. The team is built for the present; if things aren’t going the way the front office wants, look for the trade deadline to be the next step in trying to win this season.
