BREAKING NEWS: Celtics Fielding Trade Calls — Only Jayson Tatum Deemed Untouchable as Boston Eyes Bold Moves

 

The Boston Celtics are reportedly open for business — and no one outside of Jayson Tatum is safe.

 

As rival teams light up the phones, Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens is listening. League insiders say Boston is actively exploring trade options this offseason, and while Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Sam Hauser are currently at the center of discussions, even stars like Jaylen Brown and Derrick White are drawing serious interest.

 

Tatum, fresh off another All-NBA campaign and a Finals appearance, is the lone untouchable. The 26-year-old forward has cemented himself as the franchise cornerstone, and Stevens has made it clear: Boston’s future is being built around him.

 

Still, that future could look very different in just a few weeks.

 

Jaylen Brown, the team’s No. 2 option, is locked into a historic $304 million supermax contract. While he remains a two-way threat and locker room leader, sources say Boston hasn’t outright shut down calls about the All-Star. Meanwhile, Derrick White — fresh off a career-best season and regarded as the team’s steady glue guy — is also drawing strong interest from contenders.

 

The recent additions of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis were designed to push Boston over the top. And while both were instrumental during the playoff run, league sources say Stevens is at least evaluating whether more balance or depth could better position the team for another Finals push.

 

Brad Stevens has never hesitated to make aggressive, even unpopular, decisions in pursuit of a banner. With the franchise eyeing Banner 19, he’s leaving no stone unturned.

 

If the right deal emerges, Boston could see another summer shake-up — one that would send shockwaves across the NBA.

 

Stay tuned.
