Now that we know that the players already on the Boston Celtics‘ roster are capable of getting to the NBA Finals, the final stage in their evolution towards returning to contenders has arrived — namely, adding the final, finishing pieces to an already-expensive roster in order not just to make but have a shot at winning the 2023 Finals outright.
Speaking to the media earlier this week, Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens made it clear he’d been given the go-ahead to make whatever moves were needed to that end. That position was recently re-affirmed by team co-governor Wyc Grousbeck.
“The reason that we bought the Celtics in the first place — and I got 20 guys together to do it — so that we could vindicate, to try to take care of this great thing,” explained the Celtics’ co-owner in an interview with WEEI’s “Felger and Mazz” when the issue of how committed financially the team was to make the leap to a true contender.
