…and the Houdini is here to rank them. The Boston Celtics have flipped the script when it comes to making splashy free agent signings. Sure, they haven’t made Kevin Durant or LeBron James-sized acquisitions, but top free agents have signed on the dotted line for Danny Ainge the past few seasons.
Brad Stevens has undoubtedly been part of the pitch. He elevated overachieving Butler teams to the NCAA title game in consecutive years and his NBA career has also been a success. The Boston Celtics expedited their rebuild and have made several deep playoff runs in his stead as the commander of the Boston Celtics.
