The Boston Celtics have the best record in the NBA and are among the title favorites. Their focus is winning their 18th championship and first since 2008. They have the talent, but there are still issues to sort out.
Boston is not just trying to win this season. They want to build a sustainable contender around Jayson Tatum, which means improving their roster every chance they get. The Celtics will be over the second tax apron and have limited avenues to upgrade. Trades are nearly impossible, and Boston can only hand out minimum contracts in free agency.
