The Boston Celtics' Offseason Moves and Roster
The Boston Celtics made significant moves in the offseason, trading Marcus Smart and acquiring Kristaps Porzingis. This has reshaped the team's roster and changed their identity.

The starting lineup may consist of Tatum, Smart, Brown, Porzingis, and Horford, but the team's depth and chemistry will be crucial for success. However, the departure of Grant Williams and lack of defensive depth raise some concerns. It will be interesting to see how the new lineup functions and the adjustments they make throughout the season.
