Reacting to the Giannis - Jaylen Brown mess and Chris Cenac draft pick

Where do the Boston Celtics go from here? After a failed pursuit of Milwaukee Bucks star big man Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Celtics now find themselves in damage control mode as Boston President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens pivots to repairing his relationship with dangled star Jaylen Brown while also reportedly fielding calls from rival ball clubs in case a trade is needed. The Celtics also drafted a high-upside project big in Chris Cenac Jr. in the 2026 NBA Draft, which may hint at an expected need for talent down the road given the risk taken in passing on more ready-to-contribute options still on the board. What do we think of where the team finds itself, what might happen next, and how could it go down? To get a bead on all the above, "Havlicek Stole the Pod" put their heads together on their most recent episode. We even got into the trickle of other news still making its way into print this late into the offseason, so be sure to tune in.
