Boston’s core holds as fresh names join

The Celtics hit reset this offseason, moving on from Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to trim their tax bill, while adding Anfernee Simons and other unproven talents. Jayson Tatum is sidelined, but Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and teammates remain the foundation.

Brad Stevens insists the standard won’t shift: title pursuit stays top priority. And if you think ‘unproven’ means weak, remember—every superhero movie also starts with someone nobody recognizes in the first scene.
