The Boston Celtics shook things up this offseason after failing to win a championship, despite reaching the conference finals five times in the last seven years. They traded Marcus Smart for Kristaps Porzingis and moved on from Grant Williams. Boston dropped below the second tax apron, but there is still work to do, including signing Jaylen Brown to an extension.
Losing Smart and Williams leaves the Celtics lacking toughness and defense. The Celtics also have limited cover behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on the wing. Expect them to search for a replacement before the playoffs to round out their roster.
