Brad Stevens bemoaned the Celtics' inability to land an early knockout punch against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

He did hint that there may be more to say closer to the 2025 NBA draft, which is in itself a statement that the Celtics may have some moves in mind they are not ready to discuss or even encourage speculation on. But in an availability that lasted nearly a half-hour, the team president said remarkably little about Boston's future in any detail.

Their Game 6 defeat came days after star forward Jayson Tatum underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, an injury that will keep him out for the majority, if not all, of next season.  Where do the Celtics go from here?
