In remarks to reporters at the Auerbach Center, Stevens responds to questions about the trade and discusses how the Celtics view the move as it relates to the team’s outlook. Multiple accounts of the event focus on Stevens’ effort to clarify the organization’s reasoning and to frame the acquisition in terms of roster planning.
