A 2028 first-round pick: The Sixers own two first-round picks (their own and the Clippers’) so Boston will end up with the more preferable of those picks.
A 2031 first-round pick: This is an unprotected pick from the 76ers.
A 2028 second-round pick: This would be the most favorable pick among the Warriors, Thunder or Bucks selections.
A 2030 second-round pick: This would be the most favorable pick among the Blazers, Suns or Wizards picks.
Boston now has five tradable first-round picks to work with as they reshape their roster around Jayson Tatum after moving on from Brown. George has two years left remaining on his deal including a $56.5 million player option for the 2027-28 season.
George averaged 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 37 games during the regular season, though that included a suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy.
