Heading to Boston
The Celtics traded Jaylen Brown to the 76ers on Wednesday in exchange for George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analyse
After two injury-filled years with the 76ers, the star forward will join the Celtics. The star forward has reached the 70-game mark just once over his last seven regular seasons, but he'll now get the opportunity to function as Jayson Tatum's running mate in a big role for the Celtics. George averaged 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 steals in 30.7 minutes per contest over 37 regular-season games in 2025-26.

Larger role incoming?
George could be in line for a larger workload after Philadelphia lost both Kelly Oubre and Quentin Grimes this offseason, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
Analyse
With two key wing contributors no longer on the roster, the veteran forward should be asked to shoulder more of the scoring and playmaking responsibilities alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Assuming he stays healthy, George could be positioned for a bounce-back fantasy campaign with an expanded role on the wing.
