## Resource

Boston Celtics weigh targeted upgrades as offseason options narrow and new CBA rules reshape the market. With few teams holding major cap space, potential signings like Anfernee Simons, Coby White, or John Collins could demand tough choices—should Boston use their traded player exception now or wait for a better deadline deal? John Karalis of Celtics On SI and Keith Smith dissect how salary floor contracts, trade exceptions, and sign-and-trade scenarios set up the Celtics for stealth contender moves. Key questions include whether Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown remain the core and which role players—like Sam Hauser —might be trade assets. The conversation explores internal development, the crammed wing rotation, and whether patience or bold action is Boston’s best bet for adding firepower. Are the Celtics one move away from Eastern Conference dominance?
