Celtics team president Brad Stevens speaks with media about Walker trade, offseason plans

The new head honcho of the Celtics gave his first solo official presser in that role on Boston’s offseason plans and the Walker trade.

New Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens gave his first solo press conference in that role on Monday to speak to the media about his first big trade as team president, sending veteran point guard Kemba Walker to the Oklahoma City Thunder for former Celtic Al Horford and big man Moses Brown.

Stevens also spoke on the offseason and the team’s general plans for team building for the 2021-22 campaign, though he did not go into specifics given the ongoing nature of such activities. He also made it clear that while there would be a time for such conversations later, for now, he was not taking questions regarding the team’s head coaching search.

“In fairness to the people,” explained Stevens, “that are under consideration, I want to make sure we’re doing this the right way.”
