Can the Boston Celtics stay contenders while trimming salary?
Can the Boston Celtics stay contenders while trimming salary? The Boston Celtics are shaping up to have an offseason of heavy work for President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens. Even before the Achilles tendon injury sustained by star Boston forward Jayson Tatum went down in Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series the Celtics lost in six games to the New York Knicks, the team was already staring down a historic payroll and tax bill. Now, Stevens has to thread the needle of trimming salary while also keeping Boston competitive enough for the 2026-27 season (when Tatum is expected to be back on the court and playing at a high level again by most estimates), no easy task given the lack of cap space and limited means available to Boston to do it with. The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Christian Arcand" show to talk it over recently. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about what Stevens is looking at in terms of team building challenges.

Brisbane news live: Marina used to market $1.5b Teneriffe Banks project yet to be approved
Latest posts Pinned post from 7.14am Marina used to market $1.5b Teneriffe Banks project yet to be approved The developer of the $1.5 billion Teneriffe Banks project has yet to apply for permission to build a marina, despite including it in marketing material and selling units off the plan. While Brisbane City Council approved the five building, 213-unit development in July last year, it only has jurisdiction over the land, with the state government responsible for the river. The Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning this week confirmed it had yet to receive an application to build a marina. Kokoda founder Mark Stevens said he was still committed to the idea. 'The Teneriffe Banks renders currently available to the public show an artist's impression of Kokoda Property's vision for a riverfront marina,' Stevens said in a statement. 'Kokoda Property will shortly engage with the relevant state and council authorities to submit a development application for the marina that is separate to the parent land DA that has been previously approved.' 7.11am Weather into the weekend Brrr! Brisbanites wake from a chilly night to a cloudy, cool Friday, with a top of just 21 degrees forecast. Also, the weather bureau says there's a high chance of showers today. Looking to the weekend, showers on Saturday are predicted to be almost certain, at 90 per cent, easing on Sunday. And the daily top temperatures in the low 20s should persist into early next week. Here's the outlook for the weekend and much of next week: 7.05am While you were sleeping Here's what's making news further afield this morning: Tony Abbott is demanding Opposition Leader Sussan Ley persist with Peter Dutton's clean-up of the Liberal Party's biggest state division, a challenge that threatens to inflame factional tensions. The Liberal and Nationals parties have launched a review of their commitments to reaching net zero emissions by 2050, which shapes as a defining moment for the Coalition and the nation's long-running climate wars. The elite anti-war crimes agency probing the involvement of ex-SAS soldiers in executions in Afghanistan conducted surprise raids as part of its ongoing investigations. In the US, a second court has ruled President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs are unlawful, but for now they remain. And Australia is now home to 161 billionaires, up from 150 a year ago, the Financial Review Rich List for 2025, published in full today, reveals. Here are the houses where Australia's billionaires live, and how much they cost. 6.39am The top stories this morning Good morning, and welcome to Brisbane Times' live news coverage for Friday, May 30. Today we can expect a partly cloudy day and a top temperature of 21 degrees. In this morning's local headlines: Another plan for a Victoria Park stadium has come to light, as the Games Independent Infrastructure and Co-ordination Authority continues its work to select a suitable location. Three months on, not even the Brisbane City Council knows when Story Bridge paths will reopen. Ipswich City Council has paved the way to build 10,000 more homes as its population is set to double in the next 20 years. In sport, following a disappointing game 1 for the Maroon men in State of Origin, the women's team have recouped some pride in the third and final match against the Blues. The Brisbane Lions have beaten an undermanned Essendon at the Gabba on Thursday night. Broncos rookie Ben Te Kura – the NRL's tallest man at 205 centimetres – will at last get his chance in the competition in 2025, having been forced to fight his way into the side through the Queensland Cup.

NH man sentenced to prison for threatening Massachusetts DCF employee
GREENFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – A man from New Hampshire was found guilty during a jury trial in Greenfield for stalking and threatening a child protection worker for several years.

Police investigate shots fired reports in Turners Falls Northwestern First Assistant District Attorney Steven Gagne said Stevens had terrorized an employee of the Department of Children and Families (DCF) who was merely doing her job. The victim addressed the court and described the long-lasting impact of the graphic videos and images of violence. 'You're not safe. We're coming for you' Notes Stevens sent to victim repeatedly The victim said she had lived in constant fear over the past five years with severe threats that prompted the DCF office in Greenfield to develop a safety plan for her and her colleagues. 'DCF workers deserve protection from the courts of the Commonwealth. None of us should fear for our lives and the lives of our family simply for doing our job,' she said. 'We deserve better, our families deserve better and the children of the Commonwealth who are at risk deserve better.' Stevens was found guilty of criminal harassment, stalking, witness intimidation, andunlawful wiretapping. He was sentenced on Wednesday to two to three years in state prison on the stalking and witness intimidation convictions be followed by five years of probation for the conviction on illegal wiretapping. During his probation, he is ordered to stay away from the victim and wear a GPS monitoring device. 'He was aggrieved by a lawful process and he decided to target a frontline worker, verbally andpsychologically abusing her. He used his words as a weapon,' said Gagne. 'He maintains what he has done was completely within the law and his failure to appreciate the wrongness of his conduct makes a stiff penalty warranted.'
