3. Boston Celtics
I would be a fool to not have the Boston Celtics in my top 3. In fact, there’s an argument to be made that they should actually be No. 1 or, at the very least, No. 2 in the offseason power rankings.
At least this far, you can say that the Celtics have made the biggest offseason splash of all the “contenders.” The Celtics had a need heading into this offseason and wasted no time in addressing it by acquiring Malcolm Brogdon from the Indians Pacers.
The Celtics are heading into the season with not many holes on their roster and with one of the rising superstars in the league in Jayson Tatum. It’s hard not to view the Celtics as a potential powerhouse next year.
