As the Celtics enter one of their most pivotal offseasons in recent memory, it’s clear that the direction the team goes could ultimately shape the landscape of the rest of the NBA.
If Boston’s roster undergoes a major overhaul, and superstar Anthony Davis joins Kyrie Irving, the Celtics are suddenly legitimate contenders. On the flipside, if Irving leaves, NBA insiders believe Davis is unlikely to come to Boston, and it’s possible the franchise could change its course entirely.
It could be an exact replica of last year’s roster, a total shift in philosophy, or somewhere in the middle.
