The Boston Celtics are in a very strange spot coming out of a tough series of events, with their superstar Jayson Tatum set to miss significant time due to an Achilles injury. They’ve also made it clear this offseason that offloading money wherever they can has been a top priority as they aim to get out of the dreaded luxury tax.
But with that focus, the Celtics' starpower has significantly diminished, as they've lost both Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, leaving guys like Anfernee Simons and ex-Raptors bench great Chris Boucher largely relied on to step up in their place (at least as their roster currently stands).
