What are some reasons to be optimistic about the Boston Celtics next season?
What are some reasons to be optimistic about the Boston Celtics next season? What are some reasons to be optimistic about the Boston Celtics next season? That might seem like a tall order given star forward Jayson Tatum will miss much of and perhaps all of the 2025-26 NBA regular season, and perhaps the postseason beyond it as well. Add in that there are likely some significant or even major changes to the roster coming next season thanks to the second apron penalties of the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), and some of you might be chuckling to yourself sarcastically about a suggestion of things to look forward to. Yet, there truly are some minor silver linings to be had from an otherwise awful situation. And on a recent installment of the 'Forsberg's Four' segment of "Celtics Post Up," eponymous cohost Chris Forsberg lets it rip with what he sees as positives for the season to come. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what he had to say!

Would the Boston Celtics consider trading Jaylen Brown?
In an offseason that is expected to have plenty of chaos around the NBA, the Boston Celtics will be faced with several decisions to make, and one hypothetical includes trading away superstar Jaylen Brown. Facing the likelihood that they will be without Jayson Tatum for most of, if not all, of the 2025-26 season, the Celtics could look to trade one of their most valuable assets to rebuild the roster as they await the return of Tatum. Trading Jaylen Brown feels as if it would be the most extreme decision the Celtics' front office could make this offseason, and would signal a change in direction for the franchise. While it all feels unlikely to happen, the question is not only would the Celtics consider it, but what a possible return would look like for the team. Watch the video above to see the 'WEEI Afternoons' radio crew discuss the idea of the Celtics potentially trading Jaylen Brown. The easiest argument against it would be that with Tatum out for a long time, it provides an opportunity for Brown to takeover as the face of the franchise, and in turn the front office will have to put together a supporting cast around him to keep them as a contender in the Eastern conference.

The Boston Celtics labeled as a logical landing spot for Giannis Antetokounmpo via trade.
The Boston Celtics labeled as a logical landing spot for Giannis Antetokounmpo via trade. Since Jayson Tatum suffered his Achilles tendon injury, the rumor mill has primarily focused on players who could be leaving the Boston Celtics via trade. Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and even Jaylen Brown have all been discussed as potential trade chips for Brad Stevens. However, through all of the talk, very little has been said regarding who the Celtics could target this summer. After all, trades usually see players swapping teams. Therefore, any moves Boston chooses to make, will have an impact of Joe Mazzulla's roster. In a May 29 episode of ESPN's "Get Up", Brian Windhorst cited the Celtics as a team that could make sense in a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Windhorst's reasoning is that Boston is one of the few teams that could put together a competitive trade package while remaining a competitive roster after the deal had been completed. "I think you have to look at the teams that could make a trade for Giannis that the Bucks would accept and on the other side of the trade would have a contending team," Windhorst said. "So Boston would be on that list. Boston may be the only one." Any move for Giannis would likely entail Boston trading away Brown. His contract would be the most logical in terms of salary matching. Furthermore, he would ensure the Milwaukee Bucks have a high-level forward to continue building around. So, while it's highly unlikely the Celtics get involved in any Giannis sweepstakes, it's good to know they would be among the front-runners due to the strength in depth of the current roster. In truth, though, Stevens is likely going to make a series of smaller moves to help position the franchise for when Tatum returns to the rotation ahead of the 2026-27 season.
