BOSTON — Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has been the Green Team’s de facto general manager for over four years now. However, time and experience haven’t simplified the personal side of the trade process for him.

The Celtics president of basketball operations met with reporters Tuesday for the first time since the team finalized its offseason moves.

Even before Jayson Tatum limped off the court with a torn Achilles tendon during the Boston Celtics' Eastern Conference semifinals loss to the New York Knicks, Brad Stevens knew big changes would be on tap for the franchise this offseason.
