Opening Up The Files On The Boston Celtics

Celtics Files: Holiday, Tatum, Signings, Summer League, Other Notes & Takeaways

The Boston Celtics are continuing business as usual while there’s an elephant in the room in regard to future ownership of the team as Wyc Grousbeck and his family intends to sell their majority shares of the team.

Boston is bringing back 13 of 15 players from last year’s championship team, except Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk, who will test free agency but could still re-sign with Boston since they’re one of their own free agents- it’s likely not going to happen though.

Since winning the championship three weeks ago, GM Brad Stevens re-signed Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Xavier Tillman, Neemis Queta, Luke Kornet, and exercised the team option on Sam Hauser.

Stevens also signed his first first-round draft pick in Baylor Scheierman, which gives him a roster spot and makes 14 players on the roster for 2024-25.

The Celtics also drafted forward Anton Watson in the second round out of Gonzaga. Stevens is high on Watson and he will likely earn a two-way contract after the summer.

Here are other notes and takeaways from the Celtics:
