Quotes From Brad Stevens:

“Obviously, we improved our coaching.”

“We want to be a team that Boston can really get behind. A team that plays with great edge. One that plays with grit and toughness.”

Stevens on Fournier leaving: We really liked Evan, we talked to him with where we were and where he was he chose a different option … I don’t think anybody got to see the true Evan … I thought there were just challenges.

Stevens on adding Dennis Schroder: “We were very fortunate…Dennis was a guy that if you asked me on the first day, first two days, it’s unlikely that we’d be in play for him. Super edge, super competitor … plays both ends of the court … Ime will figure out how everybody fits together.”

Stevens on adding Josh Richardson: “Being able to get Josh in a sign-and-trade and use that exception .. (was) our biggest opportunity .. to solidify ourselves. Josh brings a great grit, an edge, he can defend multiple positions. I think last year was a little bit of an anomaly with how he shot the ball.”

Brad Stevens also said he has the greenlight to take the Celtics deeper into the tax: “That’s part of the reason, with our trade exceptions, that we didn’t want to hard cap ourselves.”
