OPENING PRESS CONFERENCE OF THE NEWLY HIRED GM
"The young and up and coming Celtics have hired me, Austin Stewart to be there next General Manager. The nation saw some potential with the Celtics last year. The fans weren't used to what they normally see from the Celtics, I understand that but I believe that we have the pieces in place to be a competitive basketball team, that will win championships."

News Reporter(NR): " How do you and Coach Stevens mesh in terms of philosophy wise?"

GM: "With Stevens, I called him and asked him if it was alright that I could be the GM for the Celtics(Chuckling). I only did that because of all the media speculation about him being too young to be a NBA head coach. He's going to do well here. No but in all seriousness we mesh well. We sat down already and we discussed the direction of this franchise and I see no foreseeable problems in the future"

NR: " So who is going to call the shots? Personal wise?"

GM: "We are an organization. I have my coaching staff, scouting personnel, and analytics crew very involved with everything we do. When we draft someone in the future, sign a free agent, nobody should see it as if I made the decision, or if Coach Stevens made the decision, we as an organization made the decision. Now of course, I have the final say, but like in basketball, the most successful ones are the ones that are team players."

NR: " Are you satisfied with your roster right now or are you looking to add a couple of pieces."

GM: " Of course. I love what I see in practice. Now that might change when the season starts, but Coach Stevens has these kids working there butts off and I like what I am seeing. Now if we as an organization are presented with an opportunity that can make our team better, I believe we will take it but that opportunity hasn't arrived yet. And if it does it'll probably wont until the season starts."

NR: " How many wins do you think the Celtics can win this season?"

GM: " I think we can win them all. (Chuckling) Coach Stevens has these players working hard. Games are going to feel easier than practices with the way coach has it running. We aren't the Lakers, we don't have starters who are in there 30's we have a bunch of young men who are hungry for victories."

GM: " Is that it? You guys are taking it easy on the new GM. Have a great day guys. Go Celtics"
