Celtics SIGN Mitchell Robinson, Mike Conley | ‘Strongly Shopping’ Jaylen Brown
Boston Celtics shake up free agency with the addition of Mitchell Robinson, locking in a rim-protecting, lob-finishing big man as John Karalis of Celtics On SI examines how Robinson’s arrival impacts the team’s financial flexibility and center rotation. Will Robinson start, or could Neemias Queta’s development—including his potential as a pick-and-pop threat—keep things competitive up front? The Celtics are now hard capped at the first apron, fueling questions about how this affects their strategy for the season ahead.
Jaylen Brown’s future in Boston takes center stage, as reports suggest the Celtics are now actively soliciting trade offers from up to ten teams—are major changes imminent? Karalis and Tom Westerholm break down how this dramatic pivot could reshape the Celtics’ core, weigh in on the center market explosion, and debate Mike Conley’s value as a veteran stabilizer in the guard group. Will Boston’s bold moves keep their championship window open?

Now 10 teams?? I don't buy it. JB isn't going anywhere at this point. Let's move forward and if a trade does happen at some point, report on it then.
The Celtics and the city have never appreciated brown
Stop beating around the bush. Ownership told Brad they don't want to pay that money to him and you know that.
For offensive rebounding and defense
I hope Brown doesnt trade im ok with this lineup now
Big shout to the 80s. This brown talk, is just talk. He aint going anywhere. I see maybe another deal for one more big but it wont be brown.
Mitch didn’t play back to backs with NY, worst free throw shooter in the league, and injury prone. The Knicks kept him in bubble wrap until the playoffs. He’s not a starter, he a back up
Getting soo tired of all the trade noise with JB does any report actually have validity to??? 🍀🏀
YES! He starts. If the other team wants to foul him, they are getting fouls on their STARTERS. No team wants that.
Awesome video
RIP CELTICS. 😂
I hate boston for this😤🍀jb should not be traded at all!! And mitch Robinson is a BUM😤ALWAYS HURT IS WHAT I CALL HIM
As a Knicks fan I’m pisded tf off. Ya keep brown and that’s a chip
JOHN WHAT IS HAPPENING
tRASHHHH PLAYERS!!! WTF!!!
Trading brown is dumb AF. Youre gonna be trading horses for ponies! Get rid of the stupid coach and play good basketball and this team will win.

Queta went all regular season not committing dumb fouls and for some reason reverted to old habits in PHilly Series. Glad we shored up the big man stocks.
