Three major trades have altered the balance of the Eastern Conference after the Knicks captured their first title in 53 years. The largest deal sent Jaylen Brown from one team to the 76ers. The transaction also brought Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. to the 76ers through the draft and added free agents Anfernee Simons and Dean Wade.
Additional roster changes A second trade shifted another high-profile player within the conference. A third deal completed the set of moves that league observers say could influence playoff seeding. The 76ers now list Brown, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe among their roster.
Officials have noted that Embiid's health will factor into postseason performance. The Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson and Mike Brown, face a revised set of opponents when the next season begins.
