The Boston Celtics had themselves one of their most disappointing campaigns in recent memory last season, finishing the year off with a mere .500 record of 36-36 and a first-round exit via gentleman’s sweep.
Because of this, the front office opted to step into action this summer by taking part in quite a number of necessary shakeups, with notable transactions including the trade that sent Kemba Walker to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for big man Al Horford and the free agency signing steal that brought Dennis Schroder to eastern Massachusetts.
