## Resource

Boston Celtics fans reeling from the Jaylen Brown trade search for answers as major shifts rock the championship roster. Is this the start of a bold new era or a step back from title contention? John Karalis of Celtics On SI tackles the hard mailbag questions: Brad Stevens’ cryptic press conference, Joe Mazzulla’s expected response, and whether the Celtics’ “one star and hard workers” blueprint can keep them competitive under new CBA realities. Roster strategy dominates as listeners hear about the team’s tough financial decisions, the potential impact of Mitchell Robinson and Mike Conley, and what’s next in free agency. The mailbag spotlights passionate fan reactions, advice for young devastated supporters, and speculation about future moves with the Paul George contract and cap space in play. Will Jayson Tatum thrive as the unquestioned leader? Can the Celtics rebuild around their homegrown talent before rising salaries force more changes?
