Boston Celtics' urged to re-tool their roster ahead of next season
Boston Celtics' urged to re-tool their roster ahead of next season Heading into the 2025-26 season, the Boston Celtics will be faced with a brutal luxury tax bill. The current iteration of the roster is going to cost approximately $500 million once everything is factored in. Brad Stevens and the front office could likely justify that price tag when the Celtics were seen as perennial contenders, however, following Jayson Tatum's Achilles injury, that likely isn't the case for next season. As such, Stevens is expected to make sweeping changes to the roster. It's clear that Boston's core is getting older and may be in need of some fresh talent. Al Horford, Jrue Holiday, Sam Hauser, Kristaps Porzingis and even Jaylen Brown could find themselves being shopped around the NBA in the coming weeks or months. According to Jason Timpf, who was speaking via a recent episode of his "Hoops Tonight" podcast, the Celtics need to blow things up. Timpf believes Boston needs to rebuild its roster around Tatum while getting young, more athletic and potentially more dynamic.

Star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is this generation's version of the LeBron James Star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is this generation's version of the LeBron James Swiss Army knife player. Or at least that is the position of the eponymous host of the "Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf" podcast host on a recent episode of his show. And if you squint a bit, the comparison rings true. The St. Louis native is an athletic, physical forward with a high basketball IQ and few faults in his game apart from not being one of the league's most elite shots from beyond the arc. He gets where he wants when he wants, and can control the game to suit his intent. Most importantly, when he is locked in, it is over for his opponents. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what Timpf had to say about Tatum's latest evolution as a player.

What is the No. 1 obstacle for Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics? What is the No. 1 obstacle for Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics' when it comes to repeating as champions this season? Is it the rise of a true competitor in the league's Eastern Conference standings? Or perhaps the consolidation of the Oklahoma City Thunder as a bona fide title contender on the Celtics' level this season? Or maybe it could be Boston itself, as tired players and inconsistent play potentially sabotage the Celtics continuity. Whatever you may think said obstacle may be, the subject is not without national media attention. And among the analysts exploring such a concept is the host of the eponymous "Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf" show, who took a closer look earlier this week.
