Celtics Chasing Lithuanian Lottery Gem?

Word is, the Shamrocks are hustling hard to move up in the draft for Kasparas Jakucionis, the 19-year-old Illinois standout. With the 28th pick, Boston’s front office is working the phones to snag this Lithuanian playmaker, who’s expected to go much earlier. After trading away Jrue and the Unicorn, it looks like Brad Stevens is betting on youth and upside. Would you package more assets to land Jakucionis, or roll with the current core? #CelticsNation #NBADraft #Jakucionis #Sports #Basketball

Torrey Craig Wants to Bleed Green Again?

Did anyone catch Torrey Craig’s comments on the Garden Report? The veteran wing made it pretty clear he wants to stay with the C’s, even after a quiet stint since joining post-deadline. With Tatum sidelined and Big Al hitting free agency, could Craig be the under-the-radar glue guy we need for next season’s retool? His love for Boston’s diehard fans is real—maybe he gets a bigger shot to prove himself in green. Thoughts on bringing him back? #BleedGreen #CelticsNation #NBAFreeAgency #Sports #Basketball

Is D-White Too Valuable to Trade?

Big news out of Boston: NBA insiders say the Celtics won’t move Derrick White unless they get a Desmond Bane-plus offer. With the Shamrocks needing to shed salary, most fans want to see Zinger and Jrue go, but Brad Stevens is listening to all offers—including for D-White. Given his clutch defense and steady hand, would you part with him? Or is he the glue guy we can’t afford to lose, especially if Jrue’s out? #CelticsNation #DerrickWhite #NBARumors #Sports #Basketball

Maine Celtics Coaching Shakeup: Lashbrook Up!

Big news for the Celtics fam—Tyler Lashbrook, who just led the Maine Celtics to a killer season (Coach of the Month, 14 wins in 16 games!), is moving up to the big club in Boston. Meanwhile, Phil Pressey, a familiar face, is set to take over in Maine. This move keeps the Celtics’ player development machine rolling and shows how much trust the front office has in Lashbrook’s ability to connect with the 'Stay Ready' guys. Thoughts on how this continuity could impact Banner 19? #CelticsNation #MaineCeltics #NBA #Sports #Basketball

Big Al’s Future: Will Horford Bolt Boston?

With the Celtics out early and King Jay’s Achilles injury shaking up the East, the offseason drama is heating up. Now, Big Al Horford and Kornet are both free agents, and word is, contenders are circling. Horford’s not ready to hang it up, but will he stay loyal to the C’s or chase another ring elsewhere? And can Boston afford to keep Kornet after his breakout year? This summer could reshape the Green’s core—let’s hear your takes! #CelticsNation #NBAFreeAgency #BigAl #Sports #Basketball

Celtics Eye Bold Draft Move Amid Uncertainty

Looks like the Shamrocks aren’t just sitting back after that rough second-round exit and Tatum’s Achilles setback. Word is, Boston’s front office is eyeing a trade-up in the draft, possibly packaging their late picks to snag a young gun who can contribute right away. With big contracts like Porzingis and Jrue possibly on the move, could this be the reload that keeps the Cs in the title hunt? What do you think—smart play or risky gamble? #CelticsNation #NBAOffseason #NBADraft #Sports #Basketball

Could Raynaud Be Boston’s Next Big Thing?

Celtics fans, what do you think about the latest draft buzz? The Shamrocks are rumored to be eyeing Maxime Raynaud—a 7'1" Stanford standout who just put up numbers not seen since KD’s college days. With the Time Lord’s future up in the air and our frontcourt depth in question, Raynaud’s shooting and rebounding could be a real game-changer. Is he the missing piece for another banner run, or just more draft hype? Let’s hear your takes! #CelticsNation #NBA #NBADraft

Celtics Eyeing French Big Man for Depth?

Looks like the Green might be eyeing Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud in the next draft, according to The Ringer’s J. Kyle Mann. With Big Al possibly leaving and Unicorn trade rumors swirling, Boston’s frontcourt could get thin fast. Raynaud’s got that inside-out game, and the Cs have a knack for developing bigs lately. Some fans worry about his age (22), but after drafting older guys like Scheierman, it seems Brad Stevens isn’t scared to go with experience. Could Raynaud be the next hidden gem in the Garden? #CelticsNation #NBA2025Draft #MaximeRaynaud #Sports #Basketball

Will the C’s Use Tatum’s $14M DPE or Not?

So with Jayson “The Problem” Tatum likely sidelined, the Celtics have a $14.1M Disabled Player Exception up their sleeve. But here’s the twist: Boston’s front office is laser-focused on dodging the second apron, so actually using that DPE could backfire financially. It’s a wild balancing act—do they chase a big name like Brook Lopez or Steven Adams, or just let the DPE sit unused to keep the core together? What’s your move if you’re Brad Stevens? #CelticsNation #NBAOffseason #Tatum #Sports
