Giannis Antetokounmpo was ready to sign off on a trade to Boston, but the Celtics refused to give him the three-year max extension he wanted and were only willing to offer two years, per @BillSimmons

The Boston Celtics believe Derrick White had a better season than Jaylen Brown last year, per @WindhorstESPN
"Even though Jaylen Brown was talking about himself for MVP, the Celtics did not feel like Jaylen had the best season on their team. They felt that Derrick White had a better season.”

Was he that much of a distraction? Was he that much of a locker room issue? On paper and as a fan this doesn’t make any sense to me, it doesn’t seem like we capitalized in anyway on this trade I need more info.
I mean is this a humiliation ritual??? We not only get fleeced in this trade, but we also trade him to a team in the east and to put the cherry on top we trade him to an organization that is a rival and just knocked us out out of the playoffs.
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
Details on 76ers picks to the Celtics, per sources:
-- 2028 first-round pick that could convert from a first to a swap that is more favorable to Boston
-- 2031 unprotected Philadelphia first
-- 2028 second round, most favorable of GSW/OKC/MIL
-- 2030 second, most favorable of WAS/PORT/PHX
