John KaralisHOST
You want to have somebody in that role that can soar with his strengths.
John KaralisHOST
And I think that's the role that I think Brad Stevens and Joe Missoula, they want to put guys in situations to maximize their strengths, not to play out of position and play out of a position of weakness.
John KaralisHOST
So this is one of the big reasons why I say Peyton Pritchard should come off the bench because one of his strengths is ball handling.
John KaralisHOST
He might be the best ball handler on the team and in the NBA, like one of the best ball handlers in the NBA.
16 MINS LATER
John KaralisHOST
Can you explain to Celtics newbies and all that don't know them yet why the Celtics are really the GOAT so I can let my friends know where to learn about the best team ever? All right, let's just do this quickly here.
John KaralisHOST
The Boston Celtics are not only the winningest franchise in NBA history with 18 championships.
John KaralisHOST
They, you know, I like the line that Brad Stevens said at the Paul George, Mike Conley press conference where they're asking about the Lakers and they're one off.
John KaralisHOST
And it's like, well, uh, Mike Zarin would say that we've got six more than the Lakers, which I agree.
Andrew ClaudioHOST
since my grandkids have started watching basketball.
Andrew ClaudioHOST
And more importantly, during the time the Knicks have won all those championships, Brad Stevens has probably run away with all of these executive of the year trophies that the NBA keeps rewarding him for making his team worse.
Andrew ClaudioHOST
Jonathan Macri.
Andrew ClaudioHOST
Is the reverence to Boston still at an all-time high? Or has their plot armor finally fell and you're ready to join the rest of us in not respecting, fearing, thinking, hey, they're Boston.
Jonathan MacriHOST
The fear is at the window.
Jonathan MacriHOST
I do respect the organization.
Jonathan MacriHOST
am i allowed to do that i think they're a well-run organization i think i do respect brad stevens i think he knows what he's doing i think he is currently operating with a hand tied behind his back if
Andrew ClaudioHOST
they're 56 and 26 this year again after i guess it's this really more speaks to last year how much i had to hear about the again the try hard celtics that were racking up wins against the league that stopped trying they're basically the the irish version of the pistons right like you know why i respect why i'm sorry
Ben VallisHOST
So we'll touch on.
Ben VallisHOST
Brad Stevens made an appearance on Brian Scalabrini's Sirius XM show.
Ben VallisHOST
Also, total side note, but happy belated birthday yesterday, I believe it was, to one red albac, if you can believe it.
Ben VallisHOST
So plenty going on.
Ben VallisHOST
And look, that's a full episode for us.
Ben VallisHOST
If these guys start coming out of their hidey holes and start making appearances on things, we're going to be live on the inset talking about it.
Ben VallisHOST
So I guess starting with the big one, the Paul George, Mike Conley, Joe Mizzola, Brad Stevens, press conference, Jake, like what are some of the key takeaways? Because there were some notable quotes.
Jake EisenbergHOST
These boys have been around the block.
Gavin SchallHOST
Coming out of that series though, and, and correct me if I'm, if I'm off on any of this 'cause they're just the details I remember at the time.
Gavin SchallHOST
But, um, I remember Brad Stevens talking a lot about rim pressure and he was like, "All right, that has to be more of an element." And instead, and obviously like no- notably what I just said, but there, there were a million reasons.
Gavin SchallHOST
We can get into those million reasons, I think people preferred them, why they did the Jaylen Brown trade.
Gavin SchallHOST
But it, it almost feels like they went the other way.
8 MINS LATER
John KaralisGUEST
He's been below average the past few years, too.
John KaralisGUEST
So they have a lot of confidence in shooting those shots, but also, they, their percentages have kind of like creeped a little bit further down.
John KaralisGUEST
So in the off-season, Brad Stevens specifically said, "Look, we need to get to the rim-"
Gavin SchallHOST
Yeah
Sam LaFranceHOST
I mean, all the shows are pretty good, but fun show on the way today.
Sam LaFranceHOST
Brad Stevens, one on SiriusXM, spoke about the Celtics, where they're at, their plans.
Sam LaFranceHOST
We'll break that down, go through it, see what he had to say to Scal and Frank Isola.
Sam LaFranceHOST
We'll go through your emails, and we have a few of those today, and we'll do the rat list, then we'll wrap it up.
Sam LaFranceHOST
Other videos are here in between to keep you up to date.
Sam LaFranceHOST
with all things celtics but yeah without further ado brad the most interesting interview ever always always has plenty to tell all of us at all times
Jack SimoneHOST
yes he's definitely not just repeating himself over and over again in different words uh brad stevens went on the starting lineup which is uh scowls and frank isola show um And he was asked, Gal asked him, are you a championship level team in your mind? Are you prepared to win a championship if the opportunity comes? Where exactly do the Boston Celtics sit moving forward into the 26, 27 season? And Brad said, I always say, and you know this, and it may sound like I'm avoiding the question.
Jack SimoneHOST
I'm not.
David LeeHOST
I think the whole like, oh, they didn't trade it for Giannis, it's a bit sensationalist, right? I mean, it's not just that.
David LeeHOST
I mean, they just moved off of Jalen Brown for the express written reason that Brad Stevens mentioned that press conference, which was how hard it is to build rosters with those two contracts, those type of contracts on the books that you have two of them.
David LeeHOST
So I don't even, it would have had to make perfect sense with them.
David LeeHOST
They would have had to move salary around.
Gary WashburnHOST
There's a lot of things that are going to thoughts on the table for this player option and what the Celtics do.
Gary WashburnHOST
Do they have any, like, are they saying to themselves, the Brad Stevens and the Brad Sam, we don't care if Paul George looks like Michael Jordan, 1993, this year, we're still trading him to get value and to get a younger number two option for Jason Tatum.
Gary WashburnHOST
That could be what they're thinking, right? Or they could say, if Paul plays well enough, If he wants to eliminate that player, maybe we can work something out.
Gary WashburnHOST
Like Mike Zarin, those guys, the capologists in the organization will figure out what's best.
Matt GeistHOST
So coming in at number three, we have the Boston Celtics.
Matt GeistHOST
Once again, like, it is new ownership, but I trust Brad Stevens.
Matt GeistHOST
I know the Paul George trade.
Matt GeistHOST
I don't like that it just happened with Philly.
Matt GeistHOST
So coming in at number three, we have the Boston Celtics.
Matt GeistHOST

Barry DavisGUEST
And these people don't don't budge.
Barry DavisGUEST
Brad Stevens comes to mind.
Barry DavisGUEST
There's a lot.
Barry DavisGUEST
But Dean Smith would be the answer.
