NBA free agency winners and losers: Celtics, LeBron-less Lakers raise eyebrows

The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George's contract and a draft package consisting of two first-round picks and two second-round picks. The deal was considered surprising given earlier reports suggested Brown could have returned Giannis Antetokounmpo or a package of four first-round picks. The trade has drawn scrutiny as the Celtics took on George's approximately $55 million annual salary in what many consider an underwhelming return for Brown.
