Noa Dalzell reacts from the Auerbach Center after the Celtics officially introduced Paul George and Mike Conley, breaking down the biggest takeaways from their first media availability in Boston. Noa discusses George’s encouraging health update after several injury-plagued seasons and why having a full offseason could make a major difference in his first year with the Celtics. She also examines the unique urgency George and Conley bring as accomplished veterans still searching for their first NBA championship and how that could impact a roster filled with players who already won in 2024. Plus, Noa looks at Conley’s fit as a veteran leader, why Boston’s organizational culture attracted him, and how his role could fluctuate throughout the season. Finally, she discusses the pressure George faces replacing Jaylen Brown, Boston’s revamped roster, Mitchell Robinson’s absence, and the changing atmosphere surrounding the Celtics heading into training camp.
