NEW: I decided I wanted to be a Celtics writer when I was 10 years old. At 13, I applied to be an NBA writer at Bleacher Report and cried when I (somehow) didn't get hired. Inside the unbridled joy of covering Banner 18, for @celticsblog: celticsblog.com/2024/6/19/2418…
It breaks me to even ask this. We’ve always helped others, never thought we’d be the ones in need. We’re now witnessing the most evil brutal days of the genocide. I’ve recently made a link. if you have it in your heart to help, kindly do. We truly need it. gogetfunding.com/urgent-%f0%9f%…

I actually don't expect Celtics fans to boo Marcus Smart
Marcus Smart on what to expect when Celtics fans see him in a Lakers jersey: “I’m expecting boos. I’m expecting hate. And that’s okay—I get it.” (h/t @ohnohedidnt24)
Good note here from a Celtics coach to @KeithSmithNBA on Baylor Scheierman's shooting:
NBA Summer League is a bit about watching basketball and a lot about talking to people around the NBA about basketball. For @spotrac I emptied out half of my SL notebook. Here are notes from executives, coaches & scouts for all 15 Eastern Conference teams! spotrac.com/news/_/id/2912…
Okay seeing Marcus Smart in a Lakers hoodie is so weird
Marcus Smart talks about Luka Doncic’s efforts to recruit him to L.A. He said prior to this summer, they didn’t have a relationship beyond mutual respect as competitors: “It was always flowers”
A crucial front office hire for the Celtics that should help fill the void left when Austin Ainge departed
Just In: The Boston Celtics are hiring Drew Nicholas as Executive Director of Player Personnel, league sources told @hoopshype. Nicholas spent last season as a scout for the Brooklyn Nets. Before that, he spent the prior two years as Director of Scouting for the Denver Nuggets.
Omggggg
Breaking: 2019 WNBA Finals MVP Emma Meesseman has committed to joining the New York Liberty, sources told ESPN. Meesseman’s arrival will be subject to the length of time it takes to go through the visa application process. More: espn.com/wnba/story/_/i…
Very confused about why anyone is mad online about WNBA players — or anyone in any job, for that matter — making more money, especially if it isn’t your money and you do not even watch or care about the WNBA
For those watching the Summer League championship, DJ Rodman is a Maine Celtics legend: celticsblog.com/2025/3/26/2439…
Matt Reynolds said he’s seen a lot of steals from Hayden Gray over the past few weeks: “He’s just a crafty player… I think he's going to have an impact wherever he plays.”
NEW: Hayden Gray (the NCAA's steals leader last year) has signed a contract with the Maine Celtics, per sources. Gray made his Summer League debut today & has long been impressed with the Celtics. “You could tell that Boston is one of the best organizations in the NBA." ⬇️
Summer League championship game !! (One day I’ll get sick of watching basketball)
