O’Shea Brissett, rumored to be Grant Williams’ successor for the Boston Celtics for the 2023-24 season and possibly beyond, has been replaced by Brad Stevens, according to Inside the Celtics’ Bobby Krivitzky.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.
Krivitzky introduced, “O’Shea Brissett is the top candidate within the company to find (a big wing for Stevens),” and then said the following.
On January 4, Stephens said all Boston needed in its rotation was a “big wing.
” “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 could decline his player option and become a free agent in the summer, so he loses less of a chance to earn more money
