O’Shea Brissett, rumored to be successor for the Boston Celtics for the 2023-24 season and possibly beyond, has been replaced by Brad Stevens, according to Inside the Celtics’ Bobby Krivitzky.
He could be the team’s top candidate as the manager is looking for a big winger.
Coach Krivitzki introduced, “O’Shea Brissett is the top candidate within the company to find (a big wing for Stevens),” and then said the following.
On Jan.

” “We’ll continue to see how we can find another big wing to help us.
I think that could come from within, and I also think we’ll continue to monitor free agency and trades.

“But the difference between this year and probably other years is that from a financial standpoint, our resources are pretty limited.

But as the season nears its halfway point, Brissett should do everything in his power to prevent Stevens from targeting a big wing on the trade market.
He loses less of an opportunity to earn more money as he declines his player option in the summer and could become a free agent.
