The Boston Celtics aim to reduce salary by at least $20 million this offseason, potentially necessitating trades of key players, especially if Jayson Tatum misses the 2025-26 season due to Achilles surgery. In the upcoming NBA Draft, they may seek to draft or trade for Jase Richardson, a promising Michigan State guard known for his shooting and basketball IQ, as a potential replacement for outgoing players like Jrue Holiday.
