How the Jaylen Brown trade impacts the Celtics, 76ers, and the East

How might the Jaylen Brown trade impact not just the Boston Celtics but the `Sixers Philadelphia 76ers and the NBA's Eastern Conference next season? One of the bigger rocks in our collective sandals about this trade has been dealing Brown to not just a rival but the team that sent the Celtics fishing in the 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs.

But the Georgia native's impact could change how both teams play, as well as the potential pecking order of the East. The question is who was right when it comes to Brown's impact on winning with a supermax deal, as well as which teams benefit the most from the impact of the CBA on team building. And we know that was the driving force given Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens and team owner Bill Chisholm told us as much in the presser held to make this move official on Monday (July 6).

To wrap our heads around how this trade changes the Celtics, Sixers, and the East, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with Sixers Wire editor Ky Carlin, and we get into all the news since our last episode as well, including said press conference. Be sure to tune in!
