When the Celtics made their big splashes to acquire Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday over the offseason, arguably the biggest thing they gave up was their depth.
Boston parted ways with starting point guard Marcus Smart, center Robert Williams, reigning Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon, and Danilo Gallinari, who was slated to be in the Celtics’ rotation prior to tearing his ACL last offseason, in those moves. They also let Grant Williams walk in free agency, furthering the number of players from the Celtics’ rotation last season that have left over the last few months.
As many have said that the Celtics have the league’s best top six players following the Holiday trade, franchise icon Kevin Garnett has some qualms following the moves.
