It has been a very eventful week for the Boston Celtics. They traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday and sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. But during Wednesday night's draft, the NBA's most active team so far this offseason stayed quiet, not making any moves before taking Hugo Gonzalez out of Spain with the 28th pick.
Afterwards, team president Brad Stevens met with the media for the first time since Boston was eliminated in the playoffs by the New York Knicks in wake of Jayson Tatum's torn Achilles. A lot has changed, to say the least. In answering various questions about the Celtics shedding salary in the Holiday and Porzingis trades, Stevens put forth a definitive statement about the team’s new ownership and their willingness to spend money.
