A league source said the Celtics acquired Anfernee Simons, who is on an expiring deal, because they like what he can bring to the roster, but added that they will "remain engaged on all fronts."

Was told that the Celtics are pleased with their necessary deals this week but that the general mood within the org is somber, because, basically, it sucks to trade two good players and people who helped you win a title.

“It’s because he’s a Maine boy.” Cooper Flagg will be the 1st pick of tonight’s draft, and more than 50 friends and family from Maine will be there. In his hometown of Newport, huge parties are planned all over, with food trucks and seaplane rides. bostonglobe.com/2025/06/23/spo…

New: I talked to Celtics international scout Benas Matkevicius, who spent 4 years watching Hugo Gonzalez before the Celtics drafted him in the 1st round. “He’s really a true competitor and fans will love him because of that Marcus Smart-type of effort.” bostonglobe.com/2025/06/27/spo…
