The Boston Celtics are at a pivotal juncture as they evaluate their roster after trading away veterans Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. Their aim is to avoid punitive measures related to the NBA's salary cap rules while building a sustainable team around star forward Jayson Tatum, who is currently recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. The recent signings have pushed Boston back over the second apron, intensifying the urgency for further trades to maintain flexibility.

With Tatum's injury hanging over the franchise, the Celtics are expected to make more moves to align with their long-term strategies while managing their payroll effectively. The CLNS Media podcast, 'How Bout Them Celtics!', features insights from hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, who discuss potential trades and the future direction of the team.
