The Boston Celtics have been labeled as “championship contenders” for years now, but that was not necessarily the case during the 2020-21 NBA season. Entering the year, they were definitely viewed as one of the more talented teams in the Eastern Conference, but their true colors showed this year and revealed that they have virtually no talent outside of their starting unit.

With Danny Ainge out of the Celtics front-office, they promoted Brad Stevens to be their new general manager and hired Nets assistant coach Ime Udoka to be their next head coach.

In his first move as GM of Boston, Stevens traded Kemba Walker to the Oklahoma City Thunder and brought back Al Horford, who played in Boston from 2016-2019 (3 seasons).

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are the focal points of this team, but the Celtics do need to address their backcourt, which is a little bit of a mess right now.
