Brad Stevens We have a lot of talented women in our organization I thought yesterday was really hard on them Nobody can control Twitter speculation rampant bullshit We as an org have a responsibility to make sure we support them now bc a lot of ppl were dragged unfairly

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

Jaylen Brown on the Celtics front office I thought I earned the respect of the franchise that I built and that wasnt the case They packed me up chat Thats how they operate business Im still processing it made no sense Everything was fine and then it wasnt I know theres more to it

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

Jaylen Brown ESPN is unethical and Stephen A Smith is the head face of that The organization the players they were all in agreeaance They all knew what I meant by that Our team was basically salary dumped We lost a lot of players For us to emerge and still be in the same position
