The Boston Celtics made some major moves this summer, but they were all in the name of flexibility.

Just over one calendar year since the Celtics brought home Banner 18, that squad is all but gone. Some of the core pieces remain in place—Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, and Sam Hauser—but nearly as many have been shipped out in a single offseason.
