It's done! A blockbuster trade for the 76ers! Reportedly, the next step is signing LeBron James.

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.

The Celtics sent Jaylen Brown to the 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks.

Trading a 29-year-old Jaylen Brown for a 36-year-old George whose game is in serious decline... How is this supposed to be an upgrade? It only suggests that the rift between Brown and the Celtics might be deeper than imagined.

Last season, Jaylen Brown earned $53.14 million, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1 steal per game in the regular season, and 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks in the playoffs.

Paul George earned $51.67 million, averaging 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.7 steals in the regular season, and 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.3 steals in the playoffs.

But regardless, the 76ers must be thrilled, probably celebrating with champagne for three straight days and nights. After acquiring Jaylen Brown, a prime-age All-Star forward, the team's strength has taken a direct leap, making them a genuine championship contender.

It is particularly worth mentioning that,The 76ers are incredibly ambitious, reportedly expressing interest in acquiring LeBron James.

Potential starting five: Maxey + VJ Edgecombe + Jaylen Brown + LeBron James + Embiid.

Wow, shout out those six words.

According to the latest news from insider Shams,It suggests that LeBron James's decision on his next team is not financially driven, and he is even willing to join a championship contender on a minimum salary.

Speaking of the new season, the Eastern Conference is incredibly wild, with the newly crowned champion Knicks crying in the bathroom.

Because this summer, several championship-contending teams suddenly emerged in the East, namely Giannis's Heat, Kawhi's Raptors, and Jaylen Brown's 76ers, among others.

It is worth noting that Giannis, Kawhi, and Jaylen Brown have all won Finals MVP.

Or perhaps LeBron should really consider taking his talents to the Warriors or other Western teams. As mentioned, the East is now too dangerous and competitive; the "West strong, East weak" dynamic has long been reversed.
