Celtics need to hit on draft picks in upcoming draft in order to complement expensive stars
A. Sherrod Blakely talks in the video above how the Celtics will be rather financially strapped due to the contracts of Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, and the expected max extension for Jayson Tatum. It also should be mentioned that due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gordon Hayward is more likely to opt in to the final year on his 4 year contract he signed in the summer of 2016. He was having a good enough season to consider opting out and seeing if he could sign another long term deal this summer, but now it would be financially wiser for Hayward to bank next year's salary and become a free agent next summer.
