CELTICS SHOCK NBA WITH BOMBASTIC SIGNINGS: KEVIN DURANT AND ZACH LAVINE ARRIVE! | BOSTON CELTICS NEWS
In a move no one saw coming, the Boston Celtics have set the basketball world on fire with a pair of jaw-dropping signings: Kevin Durant and Zach LaVine are heading to Beantown!
Fresh off an NBA Finals appearance, Celtics GM Brad Stevens pulled off what many are calling the boldest offseason move in franchise history. The team landed Durant on a 2-year, $97 million deal, and moments later, inked LaVine to a 3-year, $118 million contract, shaking up the Eastern Conference and sending rival GMs scrambling.
Durant, a former MVP and four-time scoring champion, brings veteran experience, championship pedigree, and one of the most dangerous offensive arsenals the league has ever seen. At 36, his game remains elite, and pairing him with Jayson Tatum could form the most lethal forward duo in the league.
Meanwhile, LaVine adds explosive athleticism, three-level scoring, and backcourt flair alongside Jrue Holiday. The 29-year-old averaged 24.8 points per game last season and is hungry for a deep playoff run after years of mediocrity in Chicago.
Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla expressed sheer excitement: “These guys know how to win. They know how to lead. This is a game-changer.”
Fans poured into TD Garden within hours of the announcement, chanting “Banner 19!” in anticipation of a new era of dominance. Social media exploded with reactions, many declaring the Celtics instant title favorites.
The message from Boston is clear: Championship or bust.
With a reloaded roster that now boasts Tatum, Durant, LaVine, Holiday, and Porziņģis, the Celtics have sent shockwaves through the league.
Brace yourselves — Boston just went nuclear.
