Examining if former Celtics 1st-round pick could have worked in Boston

1 week ago | masslive.com | Souichi Terada

Aaron Nesmith mostly watched from the Celtics bench back in the 2022 NBA Finals run. The C’s took the next step toward competitiveness, but since the wing depth was so deep, Nesmith couldn’t consistently crack the rotation. But as Nesmith stars for the Pacers during their 2025 playoffs, there’s no denying the forward’s impact on the game. Nesmith has developed into a legit rotation player for a Pacers team that’s one win away from the NBA Finals.

Celtics 2025 NBA Draft: Closer look at 4 guards who could fit Boston

1 week ago | masslive.com | Souichi Terada

While Celtics fans brace for a huge offseason as the organization will need to make some moves, for now, the next step is the 2025 NBA Draft. The Celtics have the No. 28 and No. 32 picks in the draft, so one in each round. The draft takes place from June 25-26 with each round taking one day. The C’s got the Wizards’ second-round pick at 32nd overall, which ended up being useful. In past years, the C’s would make their picks soon after the other.

Brad Stevens explains Boston Celtics title contention philosophy

1 week ago | masslive.com | Souichi Terada

The Celtics, regardless of what they do this offseason, will not enter the 2025-26 season with major title expectations. That’s a big change compared to the past few years, where a deep playoff run was largely expected going into training camp. But the C’s will need to shed payroll this summer as the roster will be different compared to the championship core. Jayson Tatum’s ruptured Achilles tendon will also keep him out for the foreseeable future.

Former Boston Celtics champion doesn’t believe in Cooper Flagg hype

1 week ago | masslive.com | Souichi Terada

There are talented players as part of the 2025 NBA Draft, but as expected, Cooper Flagg continues be the consensus No. 1 pick. So when the Mavericks improbably won the draft lottery for a chance to select Flagg, heads turned after they had just traded Luka Doncic. Dallas gets a chance at another potential franchise-changing player. But former Celtics champion Tony Allen disagrees — he doesn’t see the Flagg hype.
