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.
