Boston Celtics GM Brad Stevens looks to keep championship core intact
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum lifts his son Deuce as he celebrates with the team after the Celtics won the NBA basketball championship with a Game 5 victory over Dallas Mavericks on June 17, 2024, in Boston.It took more than a decade, savvy front office and draft moves, and some free agency luck for the Celtics to ultimately build the roster that brought an end to their 16-year championship drought.
“We all watched the team the last few years. Great teams, but not quite there,” Grousbeck said. “And Brad was brilliant. We knew we needed to make changes … and he got it done.” It started coyly with a February, 2022, trade deadline acquisition of Derrick White, a young defensive-minded reserve with San Antonio.
Then, after a conference finals loss to Miami last season, he did what was originally unthinkable by trading veteran leader Marcus Smart and reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon in separate deals that brought in 7-footer Kristaps Porzingis and defensive stalwart Jrue Holiday.
