With a glut of young players and an open title window, having three first-rounders can be difficult to navigate. Danny Ainge has become a premier asset manager, and this year becomes no different. The Celtics want to win, and they have a meaningful core of win-now players that can take them to the promised land.
Nothing about the position Ainge and his staff are in is easy. The Celtics could have over $140 million in committed salary to 14 players next season. That doesn’t include two-way players and 2019 second-round picks Tacko Fall and Tremont Waters, both of whom will pushing for roster spots, too.
