Celtics Trade Jaylen Brown to Sixers | Portland Trail Blazers News

Jaylen Brown didn’t go to Portland after all — Philly pulled off a jaw-dropping steal, landing him alongside Paul George and a haul of future picks. Some are calling it a free win, given Brown’s top-20 value. Meanwhile, the Blazers, notorious for their analytics, surprisingly passed on him — their data didn’t see him as a fit, and Boston’s price was too steep. But then they traded Jerami Grant for Ja Morant, a high-upside gamble that raises eyebrows, especially since Morant isn’t a shooter and Portland’s three-point woes last year were a major issue. The coach’s shot optimization strategy — heavy on threes and dunks — crumbles without reliable shooters, making the trade package feel like a numbers mismatch.
