What tools do the Boston Celtics have to reshape their roster this offseason? After an unceremonious exist in the first round of the 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs, it soon became apparent that the feel-good season of Boston overachieving ahead of the playoffs was not as solid as it perhaps looked.
But that also does not mean that the team is a disaster far from true contention either, both points of view addressed by Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens in his end-of-season press conference. And while some of that early exit can be blamed on the moves Boston made to get out of the tax, they also gave the Celtics a robust toolkit to improve the team over the next season or two.
To get a better idea of what Boston has available to work with in terms of teambuilding tools and constraints, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" sat down with Third Apron head honcho and NBA cap guru Yossi Gozlan. We also get caught up on the news of the week, so be sure to tune in.
