The Boston Celtics were dealt two brutal blows in their second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. Not only did they lose the series and were eliminated from the playoffs, but they also saw superstar forward Jayson Tatum go down with a torn Achilles.

The Nets are the only team that is going to have the cap space the Celtics would need to absorb the kind of salary needed in single-team deals.

Boston is reportedly "said to be conducting their mid-June business with confidence that they can make deals that bring positive value back".
