All the winning lineups are sold? The Celtics are decisive and the two main players may leave!

The NBA has entered the offseason, and all teams must start actively adjusting their lineups and try to welcome the next season with a better lineup.

But the Boston Celtics don't think so. They are trying to save money, lower their players' salaries, and try to play badly next season. The Celtics' choice is actually understandable because their core player Tatum has broken his Achilles tendon and may all be reimbursed next season.

In this case, it is actually meaningless for the Celtics to keep an expensive lineup. Their best way is to completely send away the winning lineup and wait for the next rise. Two days ago, the Celtics had made two deals, sending Holiday and Porzingis away one after another.

In this way, the Celtics directly saved $238 million in luxury tax, which is a very large saving and helps the team make further adjustments. In addition, the Celtics may also send Jaylen Brown and Derek White away.

Brown and White are important members of the Celtics, the former is even the MVP of the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals and the MVP of the Finals. But Brown's meniscus was wrong, White's contract was also large, and the Celtics were answering calls from other teams to try to hear a quote.

If the offer is right, the Celtics can try to trade Brown and White in exchange for more draft picks and expiration contracts, and even some potential new star players. It has to be said that the Celtics' style of doing things is to be decisive and drastic. Perhaps when Tatum returns from injury, the entire team will be completely renewed and will no longer be the team he is familiar with.

But there is nothing we can do about it. The Celtics have replaced their new boss and it is understandable that they choose to save money when they don’t see the chance to compete for the championship.
