The Celtics could go in various directions this offseason as they attempt to retool following a disappointing second round exit and Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury. The first order of business will be reducing salary to some degree per sources due to a record-breaking tax bill looming for the 2025-26 season.

Since Joe Mazzulla's team was eliminated from the 2025 NBA playoffs at the hands of the New York Knicks, trade rumors linking multiple members of the roster have begun to swirl. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis appear to be the most likely to head for the exit door.

Heading into the offseason, the Rockets, looking to improve their roster, could open trade talks with the Celtics.
