Three offseason priorities for the Boston Celtics

As the sun sets on Boston’s Cinderella run, what are the top offseason priorities for the Celtics?

It was a Cinderella season for the ’21-22 Boston Celtics. The club shocked the world by reaching the NBA Finals, achieving one of the most spectacular in-season turnarounds in recent memory. It was earnest, exciting, and truly unexpected. When the clock ultimately struck midnight, however, the Celtics came up short. For basketball fans in the Hub, this fairy tale doesn’t have a happy ending.

All the same, reaching the Finals and going toe-to-toe with the dynastic Golden State Warriors is an accomplishment worth celebrating. Teams led by such young stars rarely summit the mountain the way the Celtics did. Boston deserves immense praise and credit.

Hopefully, everyone in the organization will take some time to reflect and take a well-deserved bow.

CLAB 20: Predicting Hayward’s plans and free agency preview with Jared Weiss

This pod, we talk with Jared Weiss of The Athletic about all the offseason possibilities and rumbles we can think of.

With free agency kicking off at 6pm Friday, November 20th and Gordon Hayward a free agent, we recruited The Athletic’s (and former Celtics Wire editor) Jared Weiss to help us sort through the unfolding chaos that is the Boston Celtics’ offseason.

With Celtics stalwarts Brad Wanamaker, Semi Ojeleye and Enes Kanter likely on the move, Vincent Poirier on his way to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Tacko Fall and Tremont Waters likely to stay with the team, incoming draft picks and incomplete trades to consider on top of Hayward’s critical situation, there’s a lot of things on the plate to digest.

Join Celtics Hub and Off the Glass’ Cam Tabatabaie and Justin Quinn as we talk with Weiss about all the most important free agency rumbles finding their way to our ears this week.

With trades and draft picks in we’ve got a good idea of what might be coming — and no matter how it goes, it’s sure to be a bumpy ride — so buckle up!
