The Boston Celtics just completed an incredible season, winning their 18th NBA championship after years of smart decisions by Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens. The team will celebrate with a parade before getting back to work on their next championship run. This offseason is expected to be quieter than last year, with the team mostly staying the same.
The focus will be on potential extensions for Jayson Tatum and Derrick White, both entering the final year of their contracts. Rookie Jaden Springer has a team option for 2023-24 and is eligible for a rookie-scale extension this offseason. There are also player and team options for some players, as well as restricted and unrestricted free agents to consider.
Financial constraints may force the Celtics to make tough decisions between players like Kornet and Tillman, who were valuable off the bench during the championship season. It will be interesting to see how the team navigates these contract situations in the coming weeks.
