Celtics Lab 79: Sorting out the Boston Celtics’ future with Rohan Nadkarni

This episode, Sports Illustrated’s Rohan Nadkarni helps us try and divine what the Boston Celtics might be up to ahead of the 2022 NBA trade deadline.

With a brutally tough schedule, early-season injuries and new additions to the Boston Celtics’ roster and coaching staff making an evaluation of the team an uphill battle, the franchise will soon have to make tough decisions about the direction of the team in the short term that could have reverberations across a much longer-term context.

Is this team good enough now to make a deep postseason run? Does it need minor changes to inch towards contention? A major tear down? A complete overhaul? And do they have the tools they need for the path that makes the most sense?
