Dillon Mitchell’s road to the pros—The Week in Green
Author’s note: this is hardly the biggest story of the week, but there’s not much left for me to say about Jaylen, or The Trade, or Paul George that hasn’t been said by my talented fellow writers here at the blog. Instead, I want to tell a story about Dillon Mitchell, and how he came […]

Fireworks, anyone?: Rich Paul doesn’t rule out LeBron James joining the Celtics just yet
The past 48 hours have been difficult for Celtics Nation, and that’s an understatement.

Report: Debate over Jaylen Brown’s value and anticipated issues motivated trade
The Athletic reported on Friday that an internal debate over Jaylen Brown’s value, anticipated issues with Brown returning to his former role after Jayson Tatum’s return, fallout from the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade saga and concerns over Brown’s playing off-script in the Philadelphia series led to this weeks stunning trade to the 76ers. Brad Stevens, long […]
Much like the Big Three, the Jays era left fans grateful but craving more
If you’ve followed the Celtics closely over some portion of the last 40 years, there’s a strong chance a specific series sticks in your mind as the one that slipped away. For those in their 50s or 60s, it’s likely 1987. For those in their teens or 20s, it’s likely 2022. For those who are […]
SB Nation Reacts: Chris Cenac Jr. has fans buzzing
It’s been a week. I’m sure we’re all a little emotionally worn out after the team sent Jaylen Brown to Philadelphia. When we posted this poll earlier in the week, JB was still a Celtic and 11% of our readers were still looking forward to seeing how he and Brad Stevens would interact in Las […]

The harsh reality of targeting Trey Murphy
Show of hands, who wants Trey Murphy III? Yeah? Me, too! We all need a pick-me-up right now. Trading Jaylen Brown hurt, no doubt. Sending him to the Philadelphia 76ers, to form what is essentially a Big Three-and-a-half, well, that was borderline treasonous. Murphy would be the ideal mea culpa from Brad Stevens. He’s young, […]
The Celtics just secured Neemias Queta long-term in a win-win move
The Celtics have agreed to sign Neemias Queta to a 4-year, $56 million extension that begins in the 2027-2028 season, ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported.

Jayson Tatum in a post-Jaylen Brown world
As the dust settles on the nuclear fallout from the Jaylen Brown trade that rocked all of Celtics Nation to their core, the question on what happens next is loaded but interesting to think about. We turn our eyes to Jayson Tatum who is now the no doubt number one option for this team. Looking […]

Sources: Celtics-Bucks trade talks did not falter due to Giannis contract extension negotiations
On Thursday morning, The Ringer’s Bill Simmons reported on his latest podcast that contract extension talks were a factor in why the Celtics were not able to land Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo, Simmons reported, wanted a three-year extension while the Celtics wanted two (and the money was based more on percentage of the cap than raw […]
Is Jaylen Brown for Paul George the worst Celtics trade of all time?
Today is a tough one, Celtics fans. It’s the day after what’s being viewed as potentially one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history, and we’re on the wrong end of it. We’re not used to being in this position. The Celtics are the franchise that wins those trades and turns them into banners. […]
Brad Stevens spent years earning trust. He spent most of that trust trading Jaylen Brown.
As President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics, Brad Stevens has spent years building up a healthy trust bank. The Derrick White trade was a hefty deposit. Kristaps Porziņģis for Marcus Smart? Ouch, but ultimately, cha-ching. Jrue Holiday was maybe the biggest down payment in recent memory, one that also led directly to Banner […]
Recovering emotionally from the gut punch trade
I’m not going to even try to re-litigate the particulars of this trade (yet). There are other posts on this blog and all over the internet explaining just how bad a trade the Boston Celtics made yesterday. Until we get the silver bullet “now they tell us” reasons for what happened, we’re just not going […]
After years of evading rumors, we’ve finally seen the trade to end the Jays Era
It’s Game 7, and the Celtics are playing small. No Jayson Tatum for the night, a DNP for Nikola Vucevic, and Jaylen Brown is on the block with a posted-up Joel Embiid. And this wasn’t some small ball hard trap. Jaylen Brown is on an island with a 280-pound former MVP. With nine minutes left […]
Paul George is (still) good
Let’s go over the numbers: 17.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game on 49% from the field and 55% (!) from three. Those are the stats that Paul George averaged in the Celtics-76ers first round series this past season. Now, those percentages won’t hold up over a regular season and his age and […]
Brad Stevens went through with trading Jaylen Brown — and now must answer for it
Jaylen Brown is no longer a member of the Boston Celtics. After three rumored blockbuster swings — for Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, and then Giannis Antetokounmpo — Brown was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Wednesday evening. Celtics president of […]
Jaylen Brown’s legacy in Boston is so much bigger than basketball
The Celtics have officially traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George and draft compensation. It’s a move that will be scrutinized by many for its underwhelming basketball return. On the court, the organization parts ways with a five-time All-Star and a former Finals MVP, a player who has been one of their […]
The Jaylen Brown era in Boston has come to an end
Jaylen Brown — the Celtics’ 2024 Finals MVP and 5-time All-Star selection — has officially ended his tenure in Boston.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the picks are: a 2028 first-round pick that could convert […]
