BREAKING NEWS :Celtics’ biggest mistake in 2024 NBA free agency say to the

When you win a championship, not much needs to change. That was the Boston Celtics’ philosophy this offseason, as Brad Stevens actually didn’t make any big moves for once. Last offseason, the Celtics made their championship push by trading for Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. This offseason, the Celtics didn’t make any additions because they instead retained their entire roster during NBA free agency in attempts to contend for back-to-back titles.

After giving Jaylen Brown a five-year, $285 million extension last offseason, it was Jayson Tatum’s turn to cash in. In fact, Tatum surpassed Brown’s contract with a five-year, $315 million supermax extension, the largest contract in NBA history.

Funny enough, Tatum and his massive deal ended up being the last order of business for Stevens and his staff in the Celtics’ front office. Boston gave Derrick White a four-year, $118 million extension, and sharpshooter Sam Hauser earned himself a four-year, $45 million extension.

The rest of Boston’s moves in free agency revolved around retaining their entire bench. Xavier Tillman, Neemias Queta, and Luke Kornet all earned new contracts, as did Drew Peterson on a two-way contract.

You know, people always say, “Don’t fix what isn’t broken.” Well, the Celtics just won a championship with all of these guys, and this collective of players doesn’t seem to have egos, which is why Stevens believed running things back with the same exact group made the most sense.
