The Boston Celtics may not be done improving their roster this summer. They have 14 players under contract, but they are still feeling the sting of losing Marcus Smart and Grant Williams. Guard Payton Pritchard wanted to be traded, but has Smart’s departure changed that calculus? The Celtics attended a five-time All-Star point guard’s workout, which proves they are not sold on Pritchard’s return.
Boston has title aspirations in 2024, and they do not want a disgruntled player on their roster to begin the season. There should be more minutes for Pritchard, but will that be enough?
