3 reasons to optimistic about 1525-26 Celtic

When Boston Celtics Festive person Jaison Tatum rupted his Achilles in the game 4 The semifinals of the Eastern Conference against New York Kneaks, undoubtedly changed the trajectory of the core of the Champions 2024. With the Tatuum for most campaigns 2025-26, the Celtics Foundation considered their team, including all the stars Jailen BrownHe was no longer a competitor in the championship.

Celtics President of basketball operations Brad Stevens is a trading start to JRUE Holiday and KristaS Porzingis. He also considered the possibility of Respondel for the re-signing of Veteran Al Horford, in the 2024 team. Years, which was unlikely, while he graduated from the trade that would receive the Celtic from the second apron of Fine Taxes. With now, with Celtictics All-Star Jailen Brown, which runs a ship revaptered team, how good is Boston?

The playoff team is still on the Eastern Conference, but not a detachment to fight the championship, at least, on paper. As we have seen last season in an unexpected run in Indiana Pacens to NBA finals, much can happen between now and end of the regular season. Teams can find his momentum at the right time. For Penigan, this momentum was translated to win the Eastern Conference Final against New York Knicks.

They were also winning the title in the game of 7 NBA finals against Oklahoma City Groma. Could the same happen with Celtici 2026. Years? It is still too early to say, but here are three reasons for Celtics fans to be optimistic about 2025-26.

1. Jailen Brown enters its prime minister

While talking around the NBA world says Boston Celtics campaign 2025-26, while Jaison Tatum recovers from ruptured Achilles, Jailen Brown is all in everything. He watched the Celtics Frong organized trade to Diposil in Atlanta Hawks. In this, the message Jailen was clear: this team cannot compete for champion without dad.

Even Celtics Hall Fame Guard Bob Courii reminded Brown, he is not tatum. Expect to brown to answer that notion in a significant way at the basketball court in 2025-26. It has already been shown that the most valuable player in PostSeason and in the NBA Final, it is time to show the world what he can do without his all-consisting teammates, as lead. This should be the most productive season of the brown of his career.

With a strong boot of Backcourt in Derrick White, Paiton PritchardAnd Anferniee Simons, Celtici is still a playoff team in the Eastern Conference. However, reaching the upper echelon with a team like Cleveland Cavs and New York Knicks is most likely out of reach. Instead, chances are brown, and Celtic will be Jockey for positioning with Milvaukee Bucks and joint squads, such as Orlando magic and Detroit clip.

2 Derrick White, Payton Pritchard Backcourt Tandem

When Celtics traded JRUE Holiday on Blazers Portland Trail Blazers, it helped the front office from the second flag of luxury taxes and paved the road to Paiton Pritchard to start next to Derrick White. Pritchard took a significant jump last season, with the type of production that undoubtedly made him the best six man in the league. And now, Pritchard earned the opportunity for the starting job. 14.3 points are overdue to 47.2% / 40.7% / 84.5% separation.

These numbers are not far from what was white last season, when 16.4 points per 44.2% recording, including 38.4% of deep and 83.9% of the charity. Both White and Pritchard will take over the increased roles next season to provide the type of support from Brown to help Kelters hold the tournament headquarters. While the future Anfernee Simons still remains unclear, he could replace Pritchard as a new sixth man team.

However, it depends on how to fit in the Celtics Corps in the Joe Mazulla system, who retired with him stinging or watching Celtery to trade it at some point between the present deadline for trade now and heirs.

3. Jaison Tatum’s return

Cheerleaders watched by All-Star Jaison Tatum Walking without boots As an encouraging sign for his long recovery from a ruptured Achilla. No schedule is set for its return. However, regardless of Tatum suffered injuries in the eastern conference of the semifinals against New York Knicks, he could return to the floor before the end of the regular season. Maybe March is the best case.

Can we expect to appear all-Star Tatum after sitting on 10+ months? Absolutely not. However, returning it to the momentum of things six weeks before the plea may be a significant incentive for the competitive positioning team. In a weaker eastern conference, the swing is crucial, which helped paisi last year when they became one of the warmest teams that set a break of all stars.

Perhaps the Celtic withdrew something similarly galvanized unexpected deep playoff, which does not argue that no one argues about 2025-26.
