Celtics redefine their identity after Brown trade, Mazzulla says

Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla says he’s still processing the blockbuster Brown-for-George trade while stressing gratitude for Brown’s decade with the team; he acknowledges a two-sided situation and says Boston must forge a new identity with the reshaped roster, amid Brown’s candid comment that there’s “no loyalty” in the business. The move marks a pivot after a successful era, with Brad Stevens guiding the plan and the Celtics adding players like Mitchell Robinson and Mike Conley in free agency to shape the next chapter.
