No.

Boston wouldn't be unloading players like this if Tatum hadn't gotten injured.

They're avoiding paying severe tax penalties because they know they don't have a chance to compete for the title without Tatum next year.

Well sure, but those two things are intrinsically linked.

If the Celtics had a realistic chance to win the title this upcoming season, the new owners would have given it one more shot before they made sweeping changes.

Even before they lost and the injury the sentiment was that Porzingas and Holliday would be traded to shed salary.

How likely is it that, from here, we end up running it back next season?

There’s a plausible path: minutes open up for Jett, TDS, and Houstan, AB steps into a 6th man role, and there’s enough depth to support Moritz through rehab. Even the incoming rookies would have a realistic shot at carving out a future role.

Honestly, I wouldn’t hate it.

If thats the price for those type of players, which we need, certainly seems like we can sign one of those 4.

No chance of this IMO.

If they do nothing but make all three draft picks, they’ll be over the first apron and I think they will do *something* to address that.

I’m expecting Moe to be declined regardless, even if he’s resigned and at least one move (free agent signing or trade) in addition to the draft.
