With a likely infusion of cash coming into the NBA from a new media rights deal set to be signed in the near-term future, the league’s class of free agents coming onto the market in 2025 is likely to be a significant one in terms of talent. And for the Boston Celtics, it is sure to be an impactful offseason one way or another given four players from the storied ball club’s roster are able to be unrestricted free agents that offseason.
What this means for the Celtics is that two starters and, by then, two likely high-usage bench players will potentially be able to change teams or sign new deals with their current roster, allowing for a fairly significant shake-up of the team should either side desire it.
NBA cap expert Yossi Gozlan of HoopsHype put together a list of the top free agents of that class, with all four Celtics mentioned above making the top 65 in that offseason — let’s see where Gozlan ranked each.
It may be the dog days of August in the NBA’s 2023 offseason, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of Boston Celtics-related things to talk about. https://t.co/9D3kRmYsql
