Theresa Boyd+FollowCeltics Eyeing Ariza Jr. for Next Chapter?Celtics fans, how wild is this? Rumor has it Boston could snag Tajh Ariza—the son of Lakers champ Trevor Ariza—in a future draft.

Would you want to see Ariza Jr. in green? #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation20Share
Beth Holland+FollowCeltics Sign Head Coach Joe Mazzulla to Multi-Year ExtensionThe Boston Celtics have signed head coach Joe Mazzulla to a multi-year contract extension, the team announced. Mazzulla has led the Celtics to a 182-64 record (.740) over his first three seasons, including a 2024 NBA Championship run where Boston went 16-3 in the playoffs. He’s the youngest head coach to win the Finals since Bill Russell in 1969. Brad Stevens praised Mazzulla as a “gifted leader” who’s averaged over 60 wins per season and brings a daily commitment to improvement. #Celtics #BostonCeltics #NBA #NBANews #JoeMazzulla #CelticsNation #NBAChampions #BleedGreen #Basketball #Sports 30Share
Oscar Gonzalez+FollowCeltics Eye Bassey as Big Man Exodus ContinuesTough summer for the C's frontcourt! With The Unicorn shipped to Atlanta and Big Al rumored to be heading to the Warriors, Boston’s depth is taking a hit. Now, Summer League standout Charles Bassey is showing real interest in donning green. Could Bassey be the next big man to step up for the Shamrocks, or is this just smoke?

Oscar Gonzalez+FollowBassey Eyes Celtics Roster Spot After Summer LeagueBig news from Beantown: Charles Bassey, who turned heads as the Celtics’ Summer League MVP, is pushing hard for that open roster spot. With The Unicorn gone and Big Al out, Boston’s frontcourt is wide open. Bassey’s Vegas numbers—15.3 points, 11 boards, 2 blocks—outshined the young guns. With Tatum sidelined, this could be Bassey’s shot to finally make an impact in the league. Should Brad Stevens roll the dice on him? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation20Share
Brian Gaines+FollowHugo Gonzalez Struggles in Vegas DebutTough start for Boston’s rookie Hugo Gonzalez in his first NBA Summer League. While the Green’s third-year man Jordan Walsh broke the team’s all-time Summer League scoring record, Gonzalez—Boston’s No. 28 pick—couldn’t shake off concerns about his ball-handling and shooting. The 19-year-old Spaniard matched his baskets with turnovers (13 each) and struggled to finish inside. Is it just rookie jitters, or should Celtics fans be worried? #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation00Share
guerrajohn+FollowBassey Bids Beantown Goodbye?Looks like the Time Lord’s backup is heading overseas! Charles Bassey, who turned heads with monster stats in the Celtics’ Summer League (15.3 pts, 11 boards, 2 blocks per game), might not be sticking around in green. Despite Boston’s interest, reports say Bassey’s agent is deep in talks with Euroleague powerhouse Partizan. Tough break for fans hoping to see more of Bassey’s hustle behind the Jays. Did the Celtics drop the ball here, or is this just the business side of basketball? #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation00Share
Brian Gaines+FollowSpringer Waived Again—What’s Next for the Champ?Tough break for Jaden Springer, the young guard who played a key role in the Celtics’ 2024 title run. After being traded from Boston and quickly waived by Houston, the Utah Jazz gave him a shot—only to cut him loose after half a season. From championship parades to free agency limbo, it’s wild how fast things change in the NBA. Do you think Springer will land on his feet before next season tips off? #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation11Share
Brian Gaines+FollowCould Ben Simmons Be Boston’s X-Factor?With Jayson “The Problem” Tatum sidelined all next season, the Celtics are scrambling for reinforcements—and now Ben Simmons is reportedly eyeing Boston as a top landing spot. While Simmons’ injury history makes him a risky bet, his playmaking and defense could fill some gaps left by the lost championship core. He might not fit Coach Mazzulla’s three-heavy system, but if Simmons can stay healthy, he could be the surprise spark Boston needs to stay in the playoff hunt until Tatum returns. #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation10Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowCould Vooch Fill Boston’s Big Man Void?Celtics fans, what do you think of this trade buzz? With Jayson Tatum out for the year and the Time Lord era over, Boston’s frontcourt is looking thin. Rumor has it the C’s could land Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu from Chicago by flipping Anfernee Simons and Sam Hauser. Vooch isn’t a defensive anchor, but his scoring and rebounding could be just what the Shamrocks need. Is this the right move to keep Boston in the mix until Tatum returns? #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation00Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowCeltics Nab Steal King Gray After Summer LeagueBrad Stevens just signed Hayden Gray, last season’s NCAA steals leader, to an Exhibit 10 deal after his gritty showing in the Summer League finale vs. the Hawks. While fans were buzzing about Bassey or Lofton Jr., Stevens went for Gray’s ‘three and D’ potential—think Marcus Smart-lite. Gray only got real minutes in the last game but made them count. Can he outwork Max Shulga for a two-way spot? Let’s see if this ballhawk can stick! #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation00Share
