The Boston Celtics are (abruptly) within the offseason and that is shaping as much as be (yet one more) pivotal summer season for the franchise. Between the staff’s early exit, Jayson Tatum’s harm, the brand new possession state of affairs, and the CBA guidelines which are particularly designed to interrupt up groups just like the Celtics, we’re staring down quite a lot of adjustments to a staff we embraced and celebrated.

The yr forward may present an interesting alternative to flesh out improvement and experimental initiatives that we would not have centered on whereas competing on the highest ranges. Every little thing from extra alternatives for the G-League guys to seeing what Jaylen Brown seems to be like because the lead man on a staff.
