In a development that has rocked the Boston Celtics organization, current head coach Joe Mazzulla was reportedly left “stunned and blindsided” after a crushing internal report was released by former head coach and current President of Basketball Operations, Brad Stevens, revealing potential trade plans involving one of the team’s cornerstone players.

According to sources close to the franchise, Stevens’ confidential assessment regarding Jayson Tatum’s long-term role with the Celtics was leaked late last night — and the details are already sending tremors throughout the NBA.

The Report That Shook the Garden

The internal review, prepared by Stevens and shared privately with Celtics executives, questioned the sustainability of the team’s current roster core and reportedly proposed exploring high-value trade options for either Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown in the upcoming off-season.

While no trade has been officially proposed, the document’s tone and urgency have led insiders to speculate that a major shake-up may be closer than anyone expected.

“There are concerns about roster balance, leadership structure, and playoff efficiency,” one anonymous source revealed.
“Stevens never said he wants to move Tatum — but he opened the door.”

Joe Mazzulla’s Reaction: “This Changes Everything”

Head coach Joe Mazzulla, who has stood firmly behind the duo of Tatum and Brown, was reportedly shocked upon learning about the report.

“If this is real, it changes everything I’ve built around,” Mazzulla told local media, appearing visibly shaken.
“Jayson is the heartbeat of this team. We don’t even breathe without him.”

Sources say Mazzulla had no prior knowledge of Stevens’ internal analysis, and tensions between the front office and coaching staff may be rising behind the scenes.

Fans and Players React

The leak has left fans furious and confused:

• “Tatum is untouchable. Period.” – @CelticNation247
• “Brad Stevens built this. Now he wants to blow it up?”
• “Joe Mazzulla should fight for his guys. Loyalty matters.”

Even Celtics players reportedly took to a private team group chat last night, expressing disbelief and frustration over the circulating rumors.

What’s Next for Boston?

While no official move has been made, the leaked report has put the future of the Celtics’ superstar core in jeopardy.

NBA insiders are now watching closely:

• Will Mazzulla publicly defend Tatum and push back?
• Could Tatum request a meeting with the front office?
• Will Brad Stevens be forced to clarify — or walk back — the report?

Conclusion: A Franchise at a Crossroads

What was once a stable powerhouse in the East may now be on the brink of internal fracture. With Mazzulla caught off guard and fans demanding answers, all eyes are on Brad Stevens to address the fallout.

One thing is certain — this is not the offseason the Celtics expected.
