The Boston Celtics may have the best record in the NBA, but where there is an open roster spot, there will be speculation. And for as great as the Celtics are this season, it’s a natural reaction to be intrigued by the unknown, and that’s exactly the case with Boston’s 15th and final roster space.
Amplifying fans’ interest is the Celtics’ $6.2 million TPE that they received in the trade that sent Grant Williams to the Dallas Mavericks. Boston has plenty of draft picks (including a hoard of second-round picks Brad Stevens acquired by trading back in the 2023 NBA Draft), meaning they could easily facilitate a TPE-centered deal.
