Quiet summer...
As we creep towards season, I'm realizing it's been an awfully quiet end of summer. There were the big marquee trades although everything seems to have settled out reasonably. I'm inclined to think of it as a good thing while folks continue to heal, strengthen and prepare for the upcoming season but wanted to toss this out to the folks here and see how y'all feel.

Richard Magnum, B.I. returns for another noir style player breakdown investigation. This time, Brad Stevens has asked Magnum: What to expect from Oshae Brissett.
Brad Stevens taps the greatest basketball investigator of our time, Richard Magnum, to answer an important question.
As of today, do you think the Celtics have gotten better or worse this offseason?
How are we feeling about the team right now? I am feeling hopeful about Kristaps. He could be a great fit. I am a bit worried about losing the hustle and fire that Smart and Grant brought to the court.
What if the Celtics were in the market for another core piece?

The Celtics continue to go through a slow start to the offseason, a wild card possibility looms.
What if — second apron be damned — they are still on the hunt for another core piece? The idea might seem crazy because of the long-term salary cap implications of such a move, but the team still controls most of its first-round picks moving forward (San Antonio could choose to swap with Boston in 2028) plus the Warriors’ 2024 first-round selection. That’s enough draft capital to put the Celtics in the mix for another blockbuster trade should Brad Stevens decide to put all of his chips on the table.

The Celtics are already committed to a high-priced core that is only set to become more expensive over the next three seasons as possible supermax extensions for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum kick in.
