The Celtics Files

Opening the files on all things Celtics 🍀
Marcus Smart was the first player to be drafted under the then new coaching reign of Brad Stevens in 2014. Since then, they went to the playoffs seven years straight while Stevens was coaching. Now, Stevens gets to congratulate his guy as Defensive Player of the Year #Celtics
I was really hoping JD Davison would be with the #Celtics this season. Watched him grow and develop to just waive him. Not an ideal method of development but here we are.
Jrue Holiday talks up his teammate JD Davison, calling him an “NBA player.” JDD is on his third two-way contract with the #Celtics, spending most of his time with Maine during that time: “For him, sometimes it’s tough being on a really good team because he’s an NBA player.”
Josh Minott will have the opportunity to earn legitimate rotation minutes on the #Celtics this season. Boston’s second free agent signing of the summer is fully guaranteed for 2025-26. I think there’s some untapped potential for Boston to pull from Minott. thecelticsfiles.com/2025/07/21/bos…
#Celtics hire Drew Nicholas as Executive Director of Player Personnel. Nicholas is experienced in the personnel and scouting departments, formerly with Brooklyn and Denver. (Per HoopsHype).
#Celtics rookie Amari Williams after his first NBA Summer League. “The game is different. Trying to find new ways to be effective.” “Finishing and I feel like screening is a big thing Boston emphasizes on.”

Happy 30th Birthday to #Celtics legend Luke Kornet.
Luke Kornet scored his 10th point in the first quarter, he’s outscored the #76ers and led the #Celtics. Kornet let his team know that he’s up to 10-points fast and they loved it.

#Celtics GM Brad Stevens on Jrue Holiday: “Jrue Holiday, I think he stamped his Hall of Fame candidacy here, if he didn’t already have it.”
Joe Mazzulla on his offseason: “Happily miserable.” #Celtics
Brad Stevens isn’t expecting Al Horford to return to the #Celtics.
#Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla on the Games With Names Podcast with Julian Edelman: “I’m attracted to the dark side of greatness. The gap between a hero and a villain is so much closer than people think. That’s the space I like to dive into.”
#Spurs are getting the Luke Kornet experience on Day 1.
Newest #Spurs big man Luke Kornet cracks that he chose #7 because he wants to be a third of the player Tim Duncan was. Added that he loves multiples & factors.

Red Panda fell off her unicycle during the WNBA Commissioner Cup Finals. I don’t know if this has ever happened to the 🐐 before.
Moments after Luke Kornet signs with San Antonio, #Celtics sign Luka Garza on a fully guaranteed deal.
Free agent center Luka Garza has agreed to a two-year, $5.5 million fully guaranteed deal with the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN. The Celtics negotiated the new deal with Garza's representatives Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller of @PrioritySports tonight.
