The Celtics were finally able to make a few of their initial offseason moves official on Saturday.
The big one, of course, was the trade for Malcolm Brogdon. Boston reportedly agreed to trade Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith, Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan, Nik Stauskas, and its 2023 first-round pick on July 1 but had to wait until Saturday to make the move official.
While analysts around the league already gave their thoughts on the Celtics’ big trade, president of basketball operations Brad Stevens finally gave his take on the move in a press release on Saturday.
