The Boston Celtics have not had much in the way of playing time when it comes to their younger players given their status as contenders. But as Boston takes a step back to duck under the the NBA's dreaded second apron and all the team building barriers created by it in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), there are fewer star players and veterans eating up the playing time.

The Celtics will likely need to add depth to their backcourt and big man rotations if cost-cutting trades are made by the front office to address a potentially historic tax bill.

The cohost of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning, took some time to sit down with "NBA Big Board" podcast host and draft expert Rafael Barlow to talk through which players in a range Boston could get to that would be the best fit for the team's needs and culture.

Which players make sense for the Boston Celtics to take in the 2025 NBA draft?
Which players make sense for the Boston Celtics to take with their Nos. 28 and 32 picks in the 2025 NBA draft? Given the rumors we have been hearing about Boston potentially trading away Jrue Holiday this offseason, does it make more sense to aim for adding some talent to the team's backcourt rotation? Or with the rumbles that vet big man Kristaps Porzingis might be on the move as well, should the Celtics try to add a new center to the roster? They may actually be able to both given they have picks in the first and second round, but they could also look to combine them to move up in the draft as well.

How the Brooklyn Nets can help the Boston Celtics this NBA offseason
Can the Brooklyn Nets help the Boston Celtics this NBA offseason? As the team in the league with the largest payroll that is also over the second apron long enough to incur the worst penalties mandated by the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the Celtics are staring at being hit with a potentially historic payroll and tax bill on top of the punitive team building penalties the CBA will dole out on Boston. Enter the Nets, who are the only team in the Association that is going to have the sort of cap space the Celtics would need to absorb the kind of salary necessary in single-team deals to get Boston out of being a second (and perhaps even first) apron ball club. There are other, more complex ways the Celtics could get cheaper -- and others that would take more time -- but if the Celtics want to get cheaper in a hurry, all roads lead to Brooklyn. Advertisement The cohost of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning, sat down with the New York Post's Brian Lewis on a recent episode of the show to talk over the potentiality for a Nets-Celtics cap cleansing team up.
