Unproven but confident, Boston stays the course
Brad Stevens reshaped the Celtics this offseason, trading Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to cut the tax bill to about $274M. In came Anfernee Simons, Chris Boucher, Josh Minott, Luka Garza, and prospects, while Jayson Tatum rehabs his Achilles.
Stevens and Joe Mazzulla stress growth, motivation, and sticking to championship standards. With Simons set for a big scoring role, Boston’s plan is steady: keep competing at the highest level. The roster overhaul may be risky, but hey—sometimes you’ve got to swap a luxury tax for luxury nerves.
