The Boston Celtics entered the offseason as NBA champions. As a second apron luxury tax team, their ability to make moves was significantly limited. As such, Brad Stevens focused on securing the long-term future of the roster’s core rotation, inking Derrick White and Jayson Tatum to long-term extensions while bringing back Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet.
Sam Hauser is expected to sign a contract extension with the franchise in the near future. As such, the majority of Boston’s roster spots are accounted for, leaving little work to be done in rounding out the gaps toward the backend of the bench.
In a recent episode of ESPN’s “Get Up,” cap expert Bobby Marks discussed why he would give the Celtics an A grade for their work this summer, noting how Stevens has favored continuity rather than trying to build on something that was already incredibly successful.
