#Brad Stevens

Let's call it two years, 11 months. On Feb. 4, 2020, the initial (and better) version of the Mookie Betts trade broke. An organizational failure spanning three baseball bosses, and a punt to the groin that fundamentally changed how a sizable percentage of people viewed the Red Sox. By Jan. 4, 2023, their likes had only grown, and the snowball of…

The NBA offseason has been fairly quiet over the past couple of weeks, but leave it to Kevin Durant to shake things up again. There's still a good deal of uncertainty surrounding what team he'll suit up for next season after he requested a trade from the Nets around a month ago, and a recent Adrian Wojnarowski report has caused the Celtics to jump…

The improbable turnaround of the Boston Celtics continues with a game against the Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena on Monday. Boston leads their season series 2-1 against the Raptors and could clinch it with another win. Behind their stifling defense and evolving offense, nobody's been hotter than the Celtics (47-28) in the last few months.…

Once, they charmed the month of March. Once, the nation's college basketball fans cheered their names - except maybe those whose brackets they busted. The NCAA tournament draws a lot of its heart from Cinderella teams, who celebrate their days in the sun. But the clock always strikes midnight, which ushers in tomorrow. And tomorrow ain't always…

NBA basketball is officially here! After four long, hoops-free months, we have finally arrived at the beginning of the 2022-23 season, and, boy, is the league starting things off with a bang. In one corner, we have one of the Eastern Conference's oldest rivalries: the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics and the trendy conference…

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III has yet to make his 2022-23 season debut, and Al Horford is 36 years old, so will the C's make a trade for Spurs center Jakob Poeltl? Per ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Boston is on the radar. "Does this team need to go out and try to get another big man who can defend?" asked Windhorst on his "Brian Windhorst &…

The Boston Celtics have been granted a $3.23 million Disabled Player Exception by the NBA for the loss of Danilo Gallinari. During the offseason, the 14-year veteran signed a two-year, $13.28 million contract with the team. However, on Aug. 27, the Italian star tore his ACL while playing for Italy in a FIBA World Cup qualifier against Georgia. The…

The Big Ten has a diverse set of 14 head coaches. It has long-tenured coaches who took over for their mentors years ago and have delivered big-time successes. It has former NBA assistants who have made big splashes immediately at their alma maters. It has inexperienced head coaches who have energized their programs, hoping that bigger wins are…

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams signed a four-year, $11.8 million rookie scale extension with the team in 2019. His $4306281 team option for the 2022-23 season was exercised last November. Nonetheless, the wing has not yet inked a new contract with the Celtics. Per Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, an unnamed source told the NBA reporter that…

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams was selected 22nd overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, and some NBA executives believe the first-round pick out of Tennessee is worth $12-13 million. Per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, four unknown NBA executives think Grant's annual value should be in the $12-13 million range. This applies especially for a contract…

A season with so much promise for the Celtics was suddenly jolted by uncertainty this week. The season-long suspension of Ime Udoka has put a dark cloud over the C's as they start training camp this week and enter a campaign with high expectations. Three months removed from a trip to the NBA Finals, the Celtics are the betting favorites to win the…

Boston Celtics G.M. Brad Stevens will "absolutely not" go back to coaching the team while head coach Ime Udoka serves his suspension during the 2022-23 season, according to multiple sources. On Thursday, the front office suspended Udoka for the 2022-23 season after discovering his consensual relationship with a woman within the organization. The…

The Boston Celtics addressed the media Friday morning for the first time since announcing that head coach Ime Udoka would be suspended for the 2022-23 season. To recap what is known at this time, Udoka allegedly had an improper relationship with another Celtics employee, and Udoka has since admitted to his transgression and apologized. While both…

The Boston Celtics announced Thursday they are suspending head coach Ime Udoka for the entire 2022-23 season but the move had little impact on the Celtics' betting markets. However, I see this Udoka issue festering in the Boston organization this season. Udoka matters for the Celtics' success, the East is better and there are holes in Boston's…

Celtics coach Ime Udoka is likely to be suspended for the entire 2022-23 season for having a consensual relationship with a woman on the organization's basketball staff, according to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. ESPN was the first to report that Udoka was facing a possible suspension, while Shams Charania of The Athletic was first to…
