The Boston Celtics have struggled with the core of Tatum, Marcus Smart and Jalen Brown to get over the hump. But after Brad Stevens moved from the bench to the front office to take over basketball operations, it appears that he’s intent on keeping the band together.

Celtics fans will be happy to see that their passionate leader, Marcus Smart, isn’t going anywhere. But the team still has some work to do if they want to be competing for championships in the future.
