76ers' Jaylen Brown recruiting Trey Murphy III, but not how you think appeared first on ClutchPoints . Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here .
The Philadelphia 76ers are big winners of the 2026 offseason. Labaron Philon fell into their laps at pick 22 and became one of the steals of the 2026 NBA Draft. The team was also able to secure Dean Wade and Anfernee Simons in free agency , the former of whom is a great fit as a stretch four, and the latter of whom was signed to arguably the best value deal in all of free agency. Most importantly, though, the 76ers fleeced the Boston Celtics in a trade for Jaylen Brown .

It took just two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and Paul George for the team to acquire the 2024 NBA Finals MVP, and now Philadelphia should be considered the favorites to make it to the NBA Finals out of the Eastern Conference. The team might not be done, either, as Philadelphia is on LeBron James' list as a free agent suitor.
Now, Brown is recruiting Trey Murphy , but not to join his new Philadelphia team. Brown appeared in Murphy's YouTube content, and he requested that Murphy join the streaming world. After all, Brown is arguably the most popular NBA streamer, and he has gone viral on numerous occasions for airing his thoughts on his streams after big basketball moments. Murphy seemed uninterested, though, citing his habit of saying whatever comes to his mind.

"I say some outlandish things from time to time," Murphy said in response to Brown's suggestion. "I be not thinking, and that would be what would get me in trouble."
While Murphy likely isn't a suitor for the 76ers, he has been rumored as a trade candidate in recent years. The New Orleans Pelicans have some really intriguing players, but they haven't been able to take the next step forward as a team. Thus far, though, they haven't seemed willing to trade Murphy unless they were to be offered a package that would truly blow them away.
