Celtics draft prospects: 5 potential targets at No. 27

Giannis Antetokounmpo is heading to Miami, which means that the Celtics hold onto the No. 27 pick in the first round of the draft – at least for now. So, in the aftermath of the trade that never was, let’s take a look at five potential first-round prospects for Boston. Alex Karaban – forward from […]

Celtics fans are imagining life without Jaylen Brown

The Milwaukee Bucks traded Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat late Monday night for Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks, a pick swap and a second-round pick. Boston had pursued Antetokounmpo with an offer built around Jaylen Brown, but Milwaukee ultimately preferred Miami’s younger players and […]

Coping with the blockbuster trade that never was

Well, that was interesting. Now what? Certainly the team is going to move forward with contingency plans, but before we move on, I thought I’d look at some of the immediate aftermath of the trade that never was.

Celtics’ bid for Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t meet Bucks’ asking price

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens took his biggest swing yet since stepping into the organization’s front office five years ago — and whiffed.

Adding Giannis Antetokounmpo an agonizing decision for Celtics

So much about a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo addition for the Celtics feels like a slam dunk. Antetokounmpo embodies Boston’s need for not only a center, but Brad Stevens’ offseason mission statement of finding more impact at the rim and more dunks. The Celtics need help at center, so why not acquire arguably the most impactful […]

Trusting Brad Stevens: (an open thread on Celtics trade rumors)

I don’t know about you, but I’ve run the full spectrum of emotions this offseason.
