I just dropped a video over on Celtics Digest about this RIDICULOUS Jaylen Brown deal to the Sixers, of all teams.... Leave your comments down below with your'e thoughts on how ridiculous this trade was.

Boston at $188M with five trade exceptions totaling $45M is a war chest hiding in plain sight.

The $27.7M TPE alone can absorb an All-Star caliber player without sending a single dollar back. Add the $8.2M and $4.7M exceptions and Boston can add three rotation players through trades using only exceptions.

Tatum and Brown are locked in. White at $17M remains one of the best value contracts in the league. Pritchard off the bench at a fraction of what comparable scorers make.

The roster has two gaps: center (Queta on a team option is a placeholder) and wing depth behind Tatum and Brown. The $27.7M TPE is perfectly sized to address the center position.

Boston's front office has spent three years turning departing players into trade exceptions instead of dead money. That discipline is now paying off in the form of $45M in cap-free acquisition tools during a championship window.

Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has been named the 2025-26 NBA Basketball Executive of the Year.

Stevens earns the honor for the second time, having previously received it in 2023-24.

He is the 12th executive to win the award multiple times.

[Sam Block @theblockspot]

Brad Stevens… Basketball Legend:
• 2025-26 Executive of the Year
• 2023-24 Executive of the Year
• NBA Champion with Celtics
• 354 wins as NBA Head Coach
• 166 wins as College Head Coach
• 2 National Title Games at Butler

He is clearly a Hall of Famer.

[Brett Siegel @BrettSiegelNBA]

Brad Stevens received 11 first-place votes.

Pistons’ Trajan Langdon received six first-place votes, but Hawks’ Onsi Saleh finished second in the voting for Executive of the Year.

NBA executives voted for this award, not the media.

[NBA @NBA]

The 2025-26 NBA Basketball Executive of the Year is... Brad Stevens!

The Celtics finished the regular season as the East #2 seed, capturing their 5th straight 50+ win season.

Brad Stevens on Jayson Tatum's return: "It was a really well-thought-out process by Dr. O'Malley, and Nick Sang, and Phil Coles, and followed-to strictly by Jayson... It was pretty incredible to watch up close. I got a front-row seat to the whole thing."

Joe Mazzulla responds to Giannis:

“I think the greatest gift you can have as a coach, is a group of players that have a high competitive character and care about winning.”

[NBARetweet @RTNBA]

Joe Mazzulla on his relationship with Brad Stevens:

"We also have a unique relationship because I worked for him and there's not many of those former coaches in GM role that can see from a GM perspective and a coach perspective."

The Boston Celtics continue to dispel the lazy debate that the second apron ruined roster building.

✅Front office
✅Coaching
✅Player Development
✅ Drafting outside the lotto
✅Shrewd trades

So much for a gap year

I recently got a great experience covering the Suns vs Celtics game as credentialed media member for the first time!

So I wrote about my night and how the experience was from getting lost, to meeting some great people and most of all turning a 20 year old dream into reality
