30 days / 30 teams: Boston Celtics

Derrick White IT Jailen Brown. Of the seven players who started at least one game in the last players, only two should wear green this season. Jaison Tatum He did not leave Boston, but his ruptured Ahil Tendon could miss him for the entire season of 2025/26. And his injury was the last straw that pushed the champion 2024 to start his weight loss surgery. According to the threat of significant restrictions due to their XXL payroll, Massacusetts franchise had to sacrifice many important players.

Brad Stevens did not work things halfway to return under “second apron” and its different penalties. Veterans of high salary Jrue Holiday IT Kristaps Porzingis are exchanged for very modest consideration. Al Horford not extended. Therefore, the transition season is the Celtici prepared for experience with a clearly reduced labor force.

The outdoor sector is still strong with Derrick White and Paiton Pritchard who should liabilityet New Arrival Anfernee Simons Who could enjoy the game Joe Mace With his address from afar. Jailen Brown has recovered from his knee problems and will be the real stars of the team, a role that has probably wanted a long time. For others, Boston will have to rely on willingly or force to players who have so far been in rotating roles or even at the end of the bench.

The racket, therefore, has nothing to do with that candidate for the title. The fight in a few minutes under the circle will be played between Nehemiah queta (13.9 minutes on average last season), Ksavier Tillman (7 minutes on average) and recruits Chris Boucher (17.2 minutes) and Luka Garza (5.6 minutes).

Neemias queta should have the opportunity to confirm his progress in the last months and During the Eurobasket under Portugal colors. But the team should tilted a little more to the outside game, at least in the attack. Therefore, we will have to expect to expect safely A small taller tempo (29. “Tempo” last season), and perhaps a new record average attempt 3 points per game …

Summer movements

Arrivals: Chris Boucher, Luka Garza, Hugo Gonzalez (draft), Josh Minotta, Mak Shulga (Draft, Two-way), Anfernee Simons, Amari Williams (Draft, Two-way)

Departures: Torrei Craig, JD Davison, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, Luke Kornet, Krista Porzingis

Player followed by: Jailen Brown

A few years ago, a discussion around Jailen Brown and his ability to be in the right hand hand of Jaison Tatum. Two Jais have found cruise together since, not to cross each other’s feet.

But Jailen Brown will be able to experience what could be an opportunity for the whole life with Celtics: to be the boss, and so I speak the only head of insulting his team. Without Jaison Tatum, Jailen Brown is expected to encourage the result, but above all to serve as the main danger, the one who will be able to attract balls and with him defenses Create the necessary compensation Celtics shooters.

If he recovers well from his summer knee surgery, “JB” could return to the statistical level, he was in 2022/23 when he had an average of 26.6 points and was among the second best five season.

Boston will not be able to hope anyway – if it really must be hoped – without Jailen Brown at the top to take over from Jaison Tatum. 28-year-old (soon needed to be 29) The player in any case is the first goal: to be among them defensive five At the end of the season, “The only thing that has upset me in recent years, the only thing I matter today” declared During the twitches live.

Average age: 26.1 years

Pairoll: $ 209.8 million (8.)

Ideal scenario

This is a “charm” season of Celtic: a special context does not create actual expectations around Boston. However, this does not know Joe Mazull and the counters’ managers, to expect a year to take a surprise. Celtics are likely to fight as much as possible to remain competitive.

With Jailen Brown in his best and snipers Derrick White, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons, Boston could still drive his opponents with his constant aggression behind her port.

At such an open Eastern conference, the experience of players present in recent seasons will be a valuable tool to stay in the first part of the table. This will be equal to recruits to integrate into workforce. From the port of Garze to Bailor’s BarnsmanMany players will show that they can be a long-term member of this team once Jaison Tatum and his appeals return.

Talent, style of games, dynamics … Ingredients for great story and place in the top 10, or even better, exist. With the possibility of Jaison Tatu, which returns down the way to spice things and make the colluteri team that no one will want to go in the first round of playoffs?

The worst scenario

It has already happened at the end of the game 4 against Knicks in the conference half-final. The long-term absence of Jaison Tatuum is a terrible kick for Celtic, although they have already expected that it will have to be without any essential pawns. It is authorized pay staff of salaries and took the group from natural candidates for the title on a soft stomach on paper. In addition to Jailen Braun, Derrick White, Paiton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons, and even Hauser, how many players could really take the playback?

Boston risks to greatly suffer against the dominant interiors of the league and shows obvious restrictions. With eyes, but 2026. year in Massachusetts, not seeing no other Strizari would remain an extra sense of emptiness in the coming season. However, it could simplify things for managers when many players will no longer be under the guaranteed contract of the year.
