“I’ll repeat it over and over and over, we need to regain our flexibility,” Stevens said. “We need to maximize assets in return, and we need to regain some flexibility here. And whatever that means from a final cost standpoint is what it means. But I think the biggest thing is, as you look at the rest of the team and what we’re trying to do, there is no question our priorities would be to bring Al and Luke back. Those guys are huge parts of this organization. They’re going to have, I’m sure, plenty of options all over the place, and that’s well-deserved, but I think that would be a priority. At the same time, I don’t want to put pressure on them. It’s their call ultimately. But, yeah, we would love to have those guys back.”

Brad Stevens said he knew the 2nd apron penalties were real, but didn’t know how real they were until they were staring him in the face. Said ownership has been willing to spend. – 11:42 PM

Brad Stevens: I think the second apron penalties are real, and I didn’t realize how real they were until they were staring me in the face over the past month. You can’t overstate that. – 11:42 PM

Brad Stevens says Hugo Gonzalez is a young guy but an “old soul” when it comes to his play and his experience against older players and former NBA guys. The plan is for him to come over right away – 11:39 PM

Brad Stevens & Blazers GM Joe Cronin partnered on 3 trades over the past 2+ years. The original Holiday trade for Brogdon, Rob & 2 firsts. The Dalano Banton trade which proved helpful for Portland in ‘23-‘24. And now the Holiday-Simons deal. – 1:28 AM

Brad Stevens was, in my opinion, a top-three coach in the NBA for basically his entire Celtics tenure.
And I’m pretty sure he’s somehow an even better GM. – 12:20 AM

First domino falls for the Celtics.
After all the speculation that the Celtics would have to attach picks to get off Jrue’s money, Brad Stevens gets back two picks in the deal.
Still work to be done to get off the second apron. – 11:55 PM
