Just how different will the Boston Celtics roster be next season?
Just how different will the Boston Celtics roster be next season? Just how different will the Boston Celtics roster be next season? The Celtics are projected to make some moves this offseason to lessen the impact of their looming historic payroll and tax bill, set to check in at close to a half-billion dollars as currently constructed. But which players are most likely going to be playing for new teams (or no teams) for the NBA's 2025-26 regular season, and which might still be suiting up for Boston on Opening Night? With the injuries to the Celtics' star forwards Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown muddying up how the team's front office might be looking at the situation, there could be little change -- or quite a lot. The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Greg Hill" show to talk it over with guest Megan Ottolini. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about how the team might look at the start of next season.

Will Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens make a big trade this summer? Will Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens make a big trade this summer? The Celtics president was true to character in his end of season media availability session last week, and did not say much of anything about the future plans of the team. But it is the biggest open secret in the NBA that Boston is all but certain to make some moves to save some money ahead of a historic payroll and tax bill set to kick in next season, especially now that star forward Jayson Tatum will miss much or all of the coming campaign with a torn Achilles tendon. So what sort of moves might be coming down the pike for the Celtics in light of their current situation? The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Greg Hill" show that has them talking it over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say!

Will the new owner of the Boston Celtics make big changes to the team this NBA offseason?
Will the new owner of the Boston Celtics make big changes to the team this NBA offseason? Will the new owner of the Boston Celtics make big changes to the team this coming NBA offseason? The Celtics are currently staring down the most expensive tax bill and payroll in the history of the league, just as new majority owner Bill Chisholm will take control of the storied ball club. The former Celtics majority owner and future team CEO Wyc Grousbeck recently sat down with the media to talk about how he does not believe that ANY ball club will remain in the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s punitive second apron in terms of spending for more than two seasons, implicitly including the Celtics in that assessment. If that notion holds true, cuts are on the way -- but the proverbial elephant in the room is how big (and which players) might be on the move. The folks behind the "WEEI Boston Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip for their "Jones and Keefe" show recently to talk over the potential incoming changes. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say for yourself.
