E2 Celtics (56-26)：首輪，Celtics vs 76ers，頑強的對手！
看似完整卻尚未發揮最大戰力的 Celtics 在東區首輪將面對著少了球隊老大 Joel Embiid 的 76ers。
Celtics 沒有鬆懈的本錢，因為 76ers 一但取得了先機，Celtics 就失去了主場優勢。
Game 7，期待！
後記，2026/06/24，現在回想起來，若塞爾蒂克闖入東區冠軍戰，且跟尼克鬥得死去活來，總管還會想賣 JB 嗎？

Jayson Tatum cleared to practice with Celtics' G League team
冠軍機會太迷人，Tatum 忍不住要測試自己。
E2 Celtics (56-26)：展望，補強禁區？三分吃到飽？
聯盟的禁區天花板，就是馬刺隊的 Victor Wembanyama 與金塊隊的 Nikola Jokic。最後，則是極可能離隊的 Giannis Antetokounmpo。
現有最高薪的中鋒 N. Vucevic 本季轉來後，並未給予最大幫助，且合約到期，是否續約，很可能就是塞爾蒂克新賽季球風的走向。N. Queta 的進步是有目共睹的，但不足以跟七六人隊的 Joel Embiid 與尼克隊的 Karl-Anthony Towns 相抗橫。
Brad Stevens 本季神操作，當然，Jaylen Brown 也打出至少年度第二隊的聲勢，而 Joe Mazzulla 也有可能獲選最佳教練。但獲獎是一回事，能不能拿冠軍，又是另一回事。
如不是追逐 Giannis，Brad Stevens 還有什麼法寶呢？
下季 Jayson Tatum 滿血回歸，另兩個不動的先發仍是 Jaylen Brown 和 Derrick White。如何搭配上這三大主力，就成為了暑期的最大課題。自由市場以及交易大戲絕對是賽爾蒂克的重中之中。
至於，三分球吃到飽？看來，只要主教練是 Mazzulla，應該是不會變。
NBA Courtside: Joe Mazzulla was asked if the Celtics relied on too many 3s: "No, I thought we did a great job reading the two on ones, taking what the defense gave us, and in the games we lost, the other team shot over thirty eight percent from three. And so, um, you got to make shots. You have to be able to do that. Um, something we've done well, something we do well. And you know, we just did it. And I thought they did a good job throughout the, you know, the series later games of making them. And so, um, love the looks that we got, love the process that we had. Um, but hate the result."

Celtics submitted trade offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo last week
The Ringer: “From what I heard, they made an offer in the past week.” @BillSimmons and @ZachLowe_NBA discuss the latest on the potential of Boston making a move for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Bill Simmons: “I think they dove in. From what I heard, they made an offer in the past week, a couple of days before I mentioned it on Thursday. I don’t know what the offer was, and I don’t know who’s in it. But they are in, the hat was in the ring, which I was really surprised by, as I said on Thursday, because I thought they were sitting it out. And I don’t know… Do you think something changed? Do you think they looked at this from every angle, or that they realized ‘oh, that’s it from the Miami offer? We can beat that.’ Like what would have changed their mindset? Because I do not think they were in on Giannis at the beginning of the offseason.
Zach Lowe: I don’t think they were ever out. I just the safest bet is always inertia, right? Like the safest bet is ‘We know that the nucleus we have works really well, and there’s some degree of risk in shaking that up for a 31 year old who’s been injury prone, and we’re gonna have to sign him to a ginormous extension.’ That’s a big pivot for a team that has a pretty large window now of being one of the best teams in the NBA when everyone’s healthy.
東區比較積極！

Celtics (勢在必得)：Celtics all in on Giannis Antetokounmpo
Heat Central: The Boston Celtics are going ALL IN on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jaylen Brown is on the table, per @WindhorstESPN “If Giannis is traded in the next 24 which I think is a good chance of happening, I think it’s going to be Boston or Miami…. Jaylen Brown is on the table”

即將揭曉，會不會有變數呢？
Fullcourtpass: Giannis Antetokounmpo WILL BE traded before the draft and is focused on Boston or Miami, per @ShamsCharania “I want to make this clear, whichever deal occurs, it’s going to be a one for one deal. It’s going to consist of MIL and one of these two teams. There’s no 3rd and 4th teams.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo 的下個東家，不是熱火就是塞爾蒂克。

Celtics (翻臉)：Celtics now listening to trade offers for Jaylen Brown
Shams Charania: "I am told the hard conversations between these two sides have started. This has been a long relationship between Jaylen Brown and the Celtics. It has been mostly fruitful when you think about the success that these two sides have had. But I am told here, as we are hours away from the NBA draft, the Boston Celtics have started to listen, engage and discuss trades around Jaylen Brown. Sources tell me the Celtics are speaking to teams right now about Jaylen Brown. In 2022, the Celtics offered Jaylen Brown for Kevin Durant. Last summer, the Celtics did listen to trade offers for Jaylen Brown as they were trying to figure out how to shed salary under the aprons."
YouTube
Jaylen Brown 已開起他的領域，展開一場屠殺了！
塞爾蒂克應該是傾向補強禁區，看看馬刺擁有的 Wemby 與雷霆還有 Chet ，賣 Jaylen Brown 是拿王換柱的不得已舉動。
我覺得最有可能的是火箭（Alperen Sengun + Jabari Smith Jr. ）或拓荒者（Donovan Clingan、Robert Williams III + Jerami Grant） ，這兩隊才有足夠的籌碼。

Celtics (賣了JB)：得到了 P.George、M.Robinson 與 M.Conley Jr.
Jaylen Brown to 76ers in blockbuster deal including Paul George
Yossi Gozlan: Boston Celtics after trading Jaylen Brown for Paul George and two first-round picks. Salary cap situation relatively unchanged. George also has a trade bonus that increases his $54.1 million salary to $57.7 million max. They have a surplus of 8 first-round picks and 7 seconds.（x.com）到底賽爾蒂克是不是賤賣 Jaylen Brown ? 我覺得是各取所需。從最新出來的消息是，Jaylen Brown 恐不會退回二線，擔任輔助 Jayson Tatum 的角色，於是，Paul George 更成熟又老練的心態，說不定能助 Jayson Tatum 更上一層樓。
以下是高層傳出的說法：News of the deal sent shockwaves through the NBA and rattled a puzzled Celtics fan base Wednesday. One league source said Boston’s brass agonized for days over the decision to trade Brown but eventually determined that acquiring valuable assets along with a nine-time All-Star in George offered the franchise its best path forward.（Boston Globe）
塞爾蒂克簽到的中鋒，竟然是他！Mitchell Robinson！湖人迷應是捶心肝！
Free agent center Mitchell Robinson, fresh off winning an NBA title with the New York Knicks, has agreed to a three-year, $47.4 million deal to sign with the Boston Celtics, with a player option in the third season, sources tell ESPN's Shams Charania.從上季最令賽爾蒂克球迷擔心的禁區，突然能升級成 Mitchell Robinson，應該暑期是意外的收穫。Mitchell Robinson 上季僅上場 19.6 分鐘，就繳出 5.7 分、8.8 籃板與 1.2 次火鍋，倘若給他 28 分鐘左右的出賽，極有可能有雙十的數據，超過 2 次的阻攻。因為 Neemias Queta 就是這樣的例子。而當 Queta 退居二線後，若能保有近 20 分鐘的上場時間，賽爾蒂克的禁區將十分強硬。
Robinson was the longest-tenured Knick and one of only two rotation players originally drafted by New York (Miles McBride being the other) who were heavy contributors in their championship run. In his eight seasons with the Knicks, Robinson averaged 7.5 points and 8.0 rebounds in just under 24 minutes a game.
後記：Neemias Queta to sign four-year, $56 million extension with Celtics，這下可好，誰扛先發，還很難說。
Shams Charania: Boston Celtics 7-footer Neemias Queta will sign a new four-year, $56 million extension with the franchise, his agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball tells ESPN. Queta has established himself as a critical Celtics piece – from two-way contracts to averaging 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks as starting center.

此外，還找到了一個後場保險，Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. has agreed to a one-year deal to sign with the Boston Celtics, sources told ESPN.走到生涯的末期，Mike Conley Jr.應該準備退休，只能祈禱本季在賽爾蒂克能有一個圓滿的結局。沒有意外，Payton Pritchard 仍會是賽爾蒂克的最佳第六人，但有時候， Pritchard 也會走到死胡同。這時，38 歲經驗老到的 Mike Conley Jr. 就能扮演類助理教練的身分，幫助 Derrick White 與 Pritchard，甚至，這三衛也能在關鍵時刻一起登場。
Conley becomes only the 14th player in NBA history to reach 20 seasons. Conley, 38, just finished his 19th NBA season. He's one of only four players from the 2007 draft (Kevin Durant, Al Horford and Jeff Green) still active and is set to join a group of only 12 players to reach 20 NBA seasons.
這三位新成員 George、Conley Jr. 和 Robinson，都是多年征戰的球員，在這運作無阻的 Joe Mazzulla 戰術系統下，要融入並不是難題，尤其是 George 與 Conley Jr. 本就是球商頗高，且能遠投三分的球員。我相信下一季的賽爾蒂克並沒有變弱，反而是更加成熟。
後記：“We wanted to stay good,” Stevens said. “And we wanted to add more optionality.” Ironically, that formula involved acquiring George, whose contract is similar to Brown’s but has one fewer year. Stevens said the first-round picks in the deal, including a 2028 pick with several complicated stipulations, were “potential premium assets.” “I think the biggest thing is, it’s (George), plus the picks, plus the optionality moving forward,” Stevens said. “Paul’s contract is shorter.”
（New York Times）
綠衫軍的前景是 2028 pick ？這讓我想到了 USA's Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje （named TISSOT Most Valuable Player），如果真的選到，賺死！

Celtics (帶兵帶心)：Mazzulla 的暑假功課得到了最佳教練後，Mazzulla 真忙！
This summer, Mazzulla has taken that commitment to another level; it’s mid-July, and he has already spent time with four different players in four different parts of the world: （1）Jordan Walsh in Texas, （2）Baylor Scheierman in Nebraska, （3）Hugo Gonzalez in Spain, and （4）Neemias Queta in Portugal.
（Celtics Blog）
（1）Walsh said he learned things about Mazzulla he never knew, and that the rare quality time was valuable。
“Jordan and I had a great conversation, just kind of understanding how he grew up,” Mazzulla said. “But really, it’s not even about learning about that. I think guys are more comfortable in their home atmosphere.
（3）西班牙之旅：In early July, Mazzulla was on the other side of the world, supporting Hugo Gonzalez in the World Cup qualifying tournament in Madrid, Spain
“I try to show him where I’ve been eight or nine years of my life,” Gonzalez said. “The ones who built me as a player, and he wanted to know it, so I just showed him Valdebebas, [which] is like the Auerbach Center of Real Madrid.”
（4）葡萄牙之旅：At the beginning of June, Mazzulla flew to Lisbon to work out with Neemias Queta in the gym where he first learned how to play the game he now excels at.
“It’s just surreal,” Queta said. “A couple years ago, if you had said an NBA coach is coming to that specific gym just to see me and get to know me, I would have been like, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’ Joe makes sure — he wants to make that extra step, extra effort, just to make sure you feel comfortable. And I think that’s one of the reasons why he’s such a good coach. He worries about people, and that’s why I’m running through a wall for him.”
這句做結：「why he’s such a good coach !」

Celtics ( 存疑 )：Celtics, Devin Carter agree to contract。
除了菜鳥，Devin Carter 算是中生代的新成員，但礙於簽約限制與傷病史，Celtics 只給 Carter一份 Exhibit 10 contract。
Keith Smith: Devin Carter's deal with the Boston Celtics is an Exhibit 10 contract, a league source told @spotrac . If Carter earns a regular season spot, deal becomes a standard non-guaranteed contract. It can also be converted to a two-way deal. Or Carter can get a bonus for joining Maine.（x.com）
Michael Scotto: The Boston Celtics and Devin Carter have agreed to a deal, league sources told @hoopshype . Carter will compete for an NBA roster or two-way spot in camp. Carter averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 18.4 minutes during 38 games for the Sacramento Kings last season.
（x.com）
個人覺得 Devin Carter 有機會留下，但並不是 100%，最終若以雙向合約看，算是超值。但若 Carter 被其他球隊搶走，目前的 Exhibit 10 contract 也不虧。
