The Boston Celtics might be facing a pivotal offseason as they contemplate a massive roster shake-up. With All-Star Jayson Tatum potentially missing the entire season due to a torn Achilles, the team is faced with the prospect of retaining the most expensive roster in the NBA. Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report has proposed a three-team trade that could potentially save the Celtics $230 million while still allowing them to remain competitive. The trade would see Jrue Holiday heading to the Dallas Mavericks, while the Celtics would receive Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington from Dallas, along with Drew Timme from Brooklyn.

Boston's current roster, without Tatum, may not be suited for a championship run next season. Gafford, although not as offensively gifted as Porzingis, brings efficiency in the paint and is reliable as either a starter or off the bench. Washington, with playoff experience, can fill the void left by Tatum as a veteran forward, making this trade significant from both a financial and competitive perspective. As the offseason progresses, it will be fascinating to see whether the Celtics decide to pull the trigger on this or other major trades.
