According to Jeff Goodman, who was speaking via a recent episode of the "Bob Ryan and Jeff Goodman Podcast," Boston's best-case scenario for the upcoming campaign is to bottom out and chase a high draft pick while also retooling the roster and preparing for the 2026-27 season.

Things are going to look a lot different for the Boston Celtics next season. Brad Stevens has begun to overhaul the roster, as he bids to get under the second luxury tax apron and lower the average age of the roster.
