The Boston Celtics' annual goal of competing for an NBA championship was put on hold when Jayson Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon in the conference semifinals.

The Boston Celtics got their offseason off to a fast start when they traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft. By making those trades, Brad Stevens took the Celtics under the second luxury tax apron, giving the franchise additional flexibility as they head toward free agency and beyond.

The Celtics have shown they are willing to trade players as they prepare for a season without Jayson Tatum, but for some of their pieces, it will take a lot more than others.
