A breakdown of the Celtics roster going into next season
With the Jaylen Brown trade to the Philadelphia 76ers becoming official, the Boston Celtics will play their first season without the 2024 NBA Finals MVP for the first time in a decade.

By trading Jaylen Brown, the Celtics are making big bets
Trading a franchise icon after the best season of his career is going to be an extremely unpopular decision within your fanbase. Yet, that is what the Celtics just did by trading Jaylen Brown to the rival Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first round picks and two second round picks. There is a basketball […]
Brad Stevens did the best he could in 45-minute Q&A. Was it enough?
BOSTON — Brad Stevens has taken countless press conferences, for many years on an almost-nightly basis as a head coach, and more recently, as the Celtics’ President of Basketball Operations. Still, sitting at the Auerbach Center podium late Monday afternoon, he was faced with perhaps his most difficult press conference yet. The stunning trade that […]

Will we get the answers we need from today’s Celtics press conference?
Five days ago, the Boston Celtics agreed to trade Jaylen Brown for Paul George and draft compensation. The trade could not be made official until today, so the team hasn’t been able to officially discuss the details or explain the thought process behind the trade.

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. But with Jaylen Brown headed to Philadelphia, attention has already shifted to the next major domino still left to fall as free agent LeBron James weighs his options after departing the Lakers. James, currently considering what could be his final destination […]
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 […]
