The Celtics brass will speak to the media on Monday afternoon.
If you're a Boston Celtics fan and you are still looking for answers after the team traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers this week, you're going to have wait a little longer for them.
According to Bobby Manning of CLNS Celtics, the duo of Brad Stevens and Bill Chisholm will address the media on Monday at 4 p.m. ET. That will obviously happen after the July 4 holiday. It's presumed that no real business will happen this weekend, but you never know.
It's also unclear what Stevens and Chisholm will say and how the press conference will function. Will they speak and not take questions? Or will they be an open book on why Brown was dealt for a generally universally considered subpar return?
If Stevens and Chisholm do take questions, here are the things we want to know:
1) How did the relationship with Brown and the organization sour? Why did the organization reach the conclusion that moving him was necessary?
2) How much of this move was financially driven? Did the team want to get out from Brown's contract for some reason?
3) Have you heard from Jayson Tatum about his thoughts on this move? Did you go to him before it was made?
4) With the picks you received in the deal, do you plan on using those to make additional moves to help the team contend this offseason?
5) How has the influx of private equity money changed the way the Celtics operate?
6) How much faith does this group have in Paul George to be the All-Star caliber player that he used to be?
7) Have you spoken to Brown since the deal?
8) Why did you not just wait deeper into the offseason, or until the trade deadline, to make a deal?
9) Did you have any qualms about trading him to a conference rival in Philadelphia?
Also in the news for the Celtics
The NBA, and the Celtics, by extension, are set to test out one major potential rule change in the looming NBA summer leagues, which began this weekend.
The Celtics won't take the floor for the first time until July 10 in Las Vegas, but this rule will be fascinating to watch play out.
According to the NBA, the league will be testing out giving a single free-throw to players, regardless of whether the foul was a one-shot, two-shot or three-shot foul.
The foul shot will be worth the same amount of points as the foul was for. For instance, if a player is fouled on a three-pointer, that player will get one foul shot instead of three, but that one foul shot will still be worth three points.
