In this jam-packed episode of Bleav in Celtics, host Courtney Tate breaks down all the biggest offseason developments in Celtics Nation.

We open with a major health update on Jaylen Brown, who underwent successful knee surgery. Courtney explores the timeline of his recovery and what it means for Boston’s offseason plans. Fans have been concerned, but Jaylen’s own cryptic post-surgery selfie hints at an already motivated bounce-back — and we’re showing the image on screen for the video version.

Next, we pivot to head coach Joe Mazzulla, who’s made headlines for his surprise scouting trip to the Euroleague Final Four. What does it mean? Is Boston eyeing European prospects? Courtney unpacks the implications of this overseas venture — whether it’s about expanding the staff, player development, or potential hidden gems in the draft pool.

Then, things heat up as we dive into the offseason trade rumor mill. Courtney lays out realistic options the Celtics might pursue, especially with nearly every player “on the chopping block — except Tatum.” Soundbites from Joe Mazzulla’s recent presser emphasize the team’s “no guarantees” mentality.

After that, Courtney gets into fan reactions — from worries about Al Horford’s future, to praise for Aaron Nesmith’s Finals run with the Pacers, to whether Celtics ownership transition could impact roster-building.

And of course, we can’t close without a HOT TAKE: “The Celtics should strongly consider moving Derrick White — if it means upgrading with size and rebounding.”

Courtney brings receipts and context to defend the take — it’s controversial, but grounded.

The episode closes with a tease for next week, which promises coverage of the upcoming NBA Draft, more on Kristaps Porziņģis’ recovery, and trade buzz heating up league-wide.
