On Monday, Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens sat alongside team owner Bill Chisholm as they addressed the unpopular decision to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Celtics shipped Brown to Philly last Wednesday in exchange for 36-year-old veteran Paul George, two first-round draft picks, and two second-rounders. The deal was widely considered to be lopsided in the Sixers’ favor, especially since it doesn’t do much to help Boston financially over the next two seasons. George is set to make $54.1 million next season and has a $56.6 million player option for 2027-28. While Stevens understands…

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Is that a competent baseball team I see?9-2 in their last eleven games. A young flamethrower bouncing back from a bad outing with six shut out innings. Solid defense, every single person in the lineup reaching base at least once, and a big win on the road against a White Sox team who entered the evening 24-6 in their last 30 home games. Who the hell is this team and where have they been all year?In what very much felt like a make or break road trip regarding trade deadline decisions for…

Credit: Boston Celtics-Twitter/X The Celtics signed two free agents who differ significantly in their on-court impact heading into the 2026-27 season.The first signing is Mike Conley of the Timberwolves, and the latter is reigning champ Mitchell Robinson.While it’s unlikely Conley will push the needle for the Cs this season, Robinson has a proven track record as a premier rebounder. Tatum also excels alongside bigs who are adept at the pick-and-roll.I won’t be mentioning Uncle Mike much in this article – he’s 40 years old in what will most likely be a retirement tour in a mentorship role, but there’s a…
