How the Boston Celtics’ offseason set up Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to take control of the franchise

The Boston Celtics had a highly active offseason that reshaped their roster significantly. The Celtics executed a number of key trades, handed out some important contracts and extensions and made strategic draft moves by trading back several times before picking up rookie wing Jordan Walsh.

This transformation set up the team’s All-NBA wings Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to lead the franchise after several seasons of sharing leadership with veteran Marcus Smart. The point guard is a member of the Memphis Grizzlies after the three-team trade that brought star big man Kristaps Porzingis to Boston.
