The Boston Celtics could resign themselves to parting ways with one of their stars this summer

Dreams do not last long, and it is necessary to enjoy them for their temporary nature. Boston Celtics has acknowledged that it will not be able to sustain the level of expenses with the current roster, making it a top priority to secure a second ring this season. They have accepted that it will be impossible to pay the $445 million they have budgeted for the 2025/26 season, including luxury taxes and fines.

The new owner of Boston Celtics has made an astronomical investment to acquire the team, and it does not seem feasible to maintain the current lineup due to the financial outlay it entails. Contract renewals with players who have become key, like Pritchard, and extensions with star players greatly complicate the task of maintaining the roster. The team management in Massachusetts is clear on which two stars might need to leave the team to balance the books.

A significant decrease in competitiveness is foreseen as the chosen ones are Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. While it may be true that the Latvian seems more replaceable, parting ways with the skilled defensive point guard does not appear to be a good idea. They will have to entrust all of this responsibility to Derrick White and hope to make some cost-effective additions to mitigate the impact of these two departures. The decision is not official yet, but seems inevitable for Boston Celtics.
