Stevens: Don t want to hear any reconstructed words Tax avoidance is not ordered by the new boss

July 9th News Today, Celtics President Brad Stevens accepted an interview with reporters.

With Tatum missing in the new season, Stevens said their strategy will have to be adjusted. But as a former coach, he also emphasized that there will never be limits on the potential of any team.

"My expectations are consistent - go all out to win the next game." Stevens made it clear that he did not want to hear anything about "rebuilding" in the upcoming season. "The word won't appear in our building, and we'll move on in that direction."

Although the Celtics may take further steps to avoid luxury taxes altogether, Stevens said that incoming team owner Bill Chisholm did not give him such instructions. "Bill was very clear from the beginning and he wanted us to prioritize basketball resources and reorganize as much as possible at the highest level, and the most important addition for us in the coming years is to get Tatum off the protective gear. This is irreplaceable and it will be our best harvest."
