Bill Chisholm new Celtics owner makes reference to the new owners curse and says Brad Stevens will be driving basketball decisions

Brad Stevens on why he traded Jaylen Brown The path looked a little bit more challenging to me with 70 of our cap and such a high usage into two players and the reality in this era and in this day and age in the NBA you have to do a great job in building depth

Brad Stevens acknowledges that he still has 70 of his cap tied up in two players

Brad Stevens on the 2nd apron We may not be sitting here if there was a rule in the CBA that said guys you drafted signed to 35 supermaxes count 25 against cap bc that would allow you to build out with a lot more flexibility47 of the cap is what Brown Tatum were when we won it all

Brad Stevens on if Jayson Tatum had any involvement in the Jaylen Brown trade None

Haynes This was the Celtics super move and they feel really good about how they positioned themselves
