Multiple analysts speculate that the Celtics are ready to trade Jaylen Brown
Life comes at you fast, doesn’t it? A few months ago, the Celtics headed into the playoffs as one of the favorites to come out of the East with a real chance at winning the NBA title. A first round exit later, and the team appears ready to move on from Jaylen Brown. How did […]
Isaiah Thomas provided the Celtics a helping hand during 2026 NBA Draft
In May, the Boston Celtics reunited with legendary guard Isaiah Thomas by hiring the former two-time All-Star as a professional/collegiate scout. The plan, as previously reported by The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, was for Thomas to work from his hometown of Seattle and relay intel to Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens. But as […]
Meet Celtics second round draft pick Dillon Mitchell
Dillon Mitchell does a lot of the dirty work. He defends like hell, he rebounds, he cuts into space and keeps the ball movement flowing. He’s a true glue guy. He’s also a very rough outside shooter. After stops at Texas, Cincinnati, and most recently St. John’s, Mitchell took just 57 shots from beyond the […]
Celtics draft elite athlete with 40th overall pick

Brad Stevens discusses relationship with Jaylen Brown amid trade rumors
Few leaders in professional sports have more patience at the podium than Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens. Stevens is typically verbose, fields more questions than is necessary, and goes into more depth than is required (while also being impressively articulate). But, on Tuesday night, just moments after the Celtics selected Houston forward Chris […]
Meet Celtics first round draft pick Chris Cenac Jr.
While not the flashiest one-and-done to enter the NBA Draft, Houston’s Chris Cenac boasts intriguing upside that makes him a power forward prospect that may have a lot of work on the road ahead, but could develop into a well-rounded contributor. First off, Cenac does a really nice job moving off the ball into space. […]
Celtics draft elite rebounder with 27th overall pick
The Celtics have selected forward Chris Cenac Jr. with the 27th pick in the draft. Cenac is a 6’11 forward who averaged 9.5 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in his freshman season at Houston. He’ll immediately bolster the team’s frontcourt depth, which is currently headlined by Neemias Queta, Luka Garza, and last year’s second-round […]

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. I believe this is what the kids these days call “cope.” Basically it means rationalizing to make […]
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 […]
