Recapping the Boston Celtics' offseason moves so far

Recapping the Boston Celtics' offseason moves so far

Yahoo31-07-2025
It's been a busy summer for the Boston Celtics, starting with the decision to trade away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. Since then, Brad Stevens has searched for talent that could emerge as diamonds in the rough, as he looks to buy low and sell high to help retool the current roster and get it back to a championship level.
Unfortunately for Celtics fans, Stevens' methods mean that the upcoming season will likely be a tough one. Boston isn't expected to be among the contending teams in the Eastern Conference, and they may struggle to end the campaign as a .500 team. However, there does appear to be a method to Stevens' approach, in that if some of the new additions impress, they will bring a higher return on the trade market.
If you need a recap on everything the Celtics have done this summer, the "Cyro Asseo" YouTube channel recently published an in-depth recap of the team's moves, its depth chart, draft pick status and overall blueprint for the future. The video also reiterates every incoming and outgoing talent since the start of the summer, to help fans keep track of who is, and isn't, on the roster moving forward.

Boston Celtics sale is done. Bill Chisholm takes over as owner of NBA's most-decorated franchise

BOSTON (AP) — The sale of the Boston Celtics was finalized on Tuesday, with private equity mogul Bill Chisholm taking over control of the NBA's most-decorated franchise from a group led by Wyc Grousbeck that had owned them for more than two decades. The team was put on the market last summer, soon after it won its record 18th NBA championship. Chisholm won the bidding in March with an offer that valued the franchise at more than $6.1 billion — a record price paid for an American professional sports team. The NBA approved the deal unanimously last week, and the money changed hands on Tuesday. Chisholm takes ownership of at least 51% of the team, with full control coming by 2028 at a price that could bring the total value to $7.3 billion. That's the highest price ever paid for a team in the four major North American sports, though a piece of the Los Angeles Lakers changed hands this summer at a price that would value the entire franchise at $10 billion. Grousbeck led a group that bought the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million. Under their ownership, the Celtics won two NBA titles, lost in the finals two other times and made the playoffs in 20 of 23 seasons. ___ AP NBA:

Celtics Receive Blunt Jayson Tatum Reality Check

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Celtics are expected to be heading into a gap year during the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season. Jayson Tatum's injury has completely changed the outlook for the team this year. Along with the torn Achilles that Tatum suffered during the playoffs last season, the Celtics also had to move on from Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis via trades this offseason due to luxury tax implications. Those things combined will be difficult for Boston to overcome. Tatum has been working hard and progressing well in his recovery from the Achilles tear. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that he will miss the entire upcoming year.

Photo byEven though there is still hope of Tatum returning to the court, it might not be wise to bring him back. Read more: Knicks Linked to Possible Late NBA Free Agency Splash One former team fan favorite, Brian Scalabrine, spoke out with a blunt reality check about Tatum. He detailed how coming back in the middle of a season might be a big mistake for the 27-year-old superstar. During a segment on the "Celtics Talk" podcast, Scalabrine made his thoughts clear. "There's a reason (the NBA season) is 82 games," Scalabrine said. "Just watch a playoff game and watch a preseason game: There's so many levels in between. Getting thrown back into the middle of a race where you're trying to get out of the play-in (tournament) and you're playing these meaningful, high-level games, that is not ideal — not (just) for your Achilles, but for your body. There needs to be some build-up." No risks should be taken with Tatum. He is the face of the franchise and will be for many years to come. If he has to sit out for an entire year, then so be it. At the end of the day, the Celtics will be right back to being a championship contender when Tatum is back healthy. Waiting until next season would be worth it.

He averaged 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, six assists, and 1.1 steals, while also shooting 45.2 percent from the floor and 34.3 percent from the three-point arc. While he will be missed during the 2025-26 NBA season should he miss it all, the Celtics shouldn't even consider bringing him back if there is any risk about another injury.
