Jayson Tatum's injury has also forced the Celtics to reassess their future. Thankfully, the team has been able to hold onto Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Those two players will stick around as the main core of the roster around Tatum when he returns from the torn Achilles that he suffered during the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

The Boston Celtics are listening to trade offers for recent acquisition Anfernee Simons, who was part of the Jrue Holidaytrade to the Portland Trail Blazers last month in a cost-cutting move. Simons averaged 19.

Simons is also on an expiring contract, so the Celtics save plenty of money on their cap sheet.
