​Eric Canha-Imagn ImagesThe Paul George-Jaylen Brown swap is working exactly as planned. Both teams got what they needed without the usual drama. Boston landed a sharpshooter who fits their system, while Philadelphia added a proven champion. The numbers show this deal is a massive win for both sides.Per The Sixer Sense, the 36-year-old George is back to his old form in green. He now averages 20.4 points and 2.3 steals per game while hitting 42.5 percent of his threes. That career-high shooting mark proves he fits Joe Mazzulla’s style perfectly. The 76ers got a 30-year-old Brown who is already leading the league with a 9-2 record.No Time for Small TalkThe history between the two stars adds spice to the matchup. They were once anchors of the 2024 title team but now face off as rivals. The Morning Call reported that Brown and Tatum have had zero contact since the trade in July. Brown said Sunday in Chicago, “There’s nothing to talk about.” He added, “He’s on his side; I’m on my side. Both of us are trying to win. Nothing to talk about. Check the ball up.”Tatum took a similar stance during a Sunday interview in Milwaukee. Crossing Broad noted that Brown gave a long pause before saying “Nope” when asked if he had seen Tatum since the trade. That silence speaks volumes about the shift in their relationship.Two Heavyweights RiseBoth franchises are sitting near the top of the East. The Celtics hold the second-best record at 8-2. Brown has settled into Nick Nurse’s roster with no ego issues. He is averaging 22.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. The Sixers have a devastating forward with championship experience right now. Boston has a veteran who can space the floor and play physical defense. Both teams view the trade as a success, per The Sixer Sense.These Eastern Conference giants hope their deal does not stop them from reaching the NBA Finals. On Tuesday night, the Celtics face Philadelphia in the first meeting of the Eastern Conference’s top two teams.
