The Boston Celtics are entering the 2025-2026 NBA season with an unimaginably diminished roster, with Jayson Tatum likely to miss the entire season. Can the "Big 3" of Payton Pritchard, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown lead them on a deep-ish playoff run? Will the general lack of talent in the East make the Celtics winners by default?
We make our East predictions for the season, and outline and pros and cons of different approaches to the upcoming season.

It's time for our leap candidacy draft. Which Celtics players are most likely to take a leap this season? Payton Pritchard with a potential starting role?

Plus, the Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis trades are now official, but not without some last-minute amendments, and Jayson Tatum is exhibiting some of the most impressive pool-walking ever seen.
