Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens talked about the team’s most recent deal for center Bol Bol, Jayson Tatum’s recent shooting woes and their deadline conversations on a radio show Thursday. Stevens made his regular appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Toucher and Rich and provided some insight on the team.
Stevens reiterated his consistent point that the No. 1 goal in any possible move the front office makes is whether it helps them get closer to winning a title. That could be a short- or long-term move, but regardless it has to be with that goal in mind, he said.
“So each and every decision that we make, and everything we’re looking at, has got to be based on that,” he said. “And we have a team right now that if you did it by the numbers and point differential, we should be better than 23 and 23. That said, I think that we have to improve to get into the mix.”
