Celtics offseason tracker: Updated contracts, depth chart after Holiday trade originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Summer of Brad has officially begun.
The Boston Celtics kicked off what’s expected to be an active offseason late Monday night by trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The deal saves the Celtics roughly $4.7 million in salary for the 2025-26 season, but there’s a good chance they aren’t done. Boston entered the offseason needing to shed at least $20 million in salary to drop below the second apron of the NBA’s luxury tax and avoid punitive roster penalties, which means president of basketball operations Brad Stevens could look to move several more core players before the summer is out.
So, how will all of these moves impact Boston’s situation both on and off the court? We’ve got you covered. Below, you’ll find a look at the Celtics’ deals to date, current depth chart and salary cap situation, which we’ll update throughout the offseason as more moves get made.
