Jason reacts to Jaylen Brown being traded from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first round picks, and two second round picks. He calls the deal an “unmitigated disaster” for the Celtics, who missed out on Giannis Antetokounmpo and now pair Jayson Tatum with PG13. Jason also follows up on the Los Angeles Lakers’ moves after they came to fruition following the Walker Kessler trade with the Utah Jazz.
