Helplessly, the Big Five will be disbanded and rebuilt! The team has the fastest retreat in the season.

This season's playoffs have reached the semi-finals of the division, and there are constant upsets. In addition to the superstars such as James, Durant, Harden, Doncic who said goodbye to our public eye early, the two favorite teams in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, the Cavaliers and the Celtics are both 1-3 behind their opponents. It is only a matter of time before they get out. On the contrary, the Knicks and the Pacers are two teams that are not favored, and they are counterattacked all the way. The problem with the Cavaliers is that the double towers focus on defense, the guards focus on offense, there is no suitable candidate at the No. 3 position, and the lineup is unbalanced offense and defense. Although it is invincible in the regular season, the playoffs will sooner or later. As the defending champion, the Celtics have always been a favorite team to win the championship this season, but they fell behind with the Knicks and fell behind 1-3. The Big Five is about to be disbanded. In the series between the Celtics and the Knicks, the Celtics widened the score gap early in four games. In both of their own home courts, the Celtics were both reversed by the Knicks by 20 points, and the process to the result was like copy-pasting; in the Knicks' home court, the Celtics led by up to 31 points, and the Knicks were unable to turn the tables. But when the G4 Celtics are only 14 points ahead, the Knicks easily win another game! The Knicks never won against the Celtics in the regular season, and the Celtics were fragile in the playoffs. What broke the hearts of Celtic fans the most was that Tatum was seriously injured and was pushed out of the stadium by a wheelchair. In the words of Boston reporters, perhaps the injury is not enough to make Tatum so sad, but the team will end this season!

Calling reporter Windhorst emphasized in the show that the Celtics will definitely face reconstruction this summer. Although the new boss spent 6 billion to buy the team, he needs to find all partners to jointly raise half of the cost. The team cannot spend $500 million for this lineup next season, which is unimaginable! First of all, Tatum's injury problem is definitely not allowed to play in the playoffs this year. If it is a torn calf muscle, it may take 4-6 months to rest. If it is a torn Achilles tendon, just like Durant and Clay, it will be at least 1 year! If it is the former, perhaps the Celtics can overcome difficulties in the new season. If it is the latter, it will not be competitive next year. The key is to involve the salary contract issues of several giants. Next season, Jaylen Brown has $53.14 million, Tatum has $54.13 million, Holiday has $32.4 million, Porzingis has $30.73 million in contract, White has $28.1 million, plus Prichard's 7.23 million, Hauser has $10 million, and several basic-paid players. The Celtics' total salary is $224 million when the lineup framework is not satisfied. Including the penalties of luxury tax, it is definitely more than $460 million. And it exceeds the second rich line (expected to be 208 million), and cannot use the middle class, and the players cannot be packaged with transactions. They can only exchange 1 for 1 or use basic salary to sign up! If you fill in the list of 15 people and use the first round of the summer 28th to select and sign a contract, the total expenditure will definitely exceed 500 million, which is based on the inability to renew the contract by Horford, Connett, Craig and others.

The former boss chose to sell the team because he couldn't bear the pressure, and the new boss didn't have that much money. There is only one way left: trade and demolish teams and subtract. First of all, the two stars who are almost certain to leave the team, Boss has expired their contracts, and they only played 42 games in the regular season due to injury, and averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds per game in the playoffs. It’s a pity to give up. However, in the words of the US media, the Celtics are likely to throw away Boss' contracts in a nearly free way. They may not be able to eat any effective chips, which will only increase the pressure on luxury taxes! The same embarrassing situation is also Holiday, averaging 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the regular season, and 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the playoffs. His defense is indeed online, but as he grows older, the offensive end has declined faster, not to mention a three-year contract of $100 million!

will only get rid of Posses. By next summer, the Celtics will continue to lay off people. Double Tanhua's salary will exceed 116 million in the 26-27 season, and White's 30 million. The lineup layout is also stretched. When Holiday's trading value will only continue to decline in the future, sending Holiday away becomes a must. Even the Celtics' reporters were moved by the fact that they did not expect that the team would be the best team in the NBA last summer. In less than a year, Tatum was seriously injured. The team must break up the Big Five lineup this summer, and there were no other options. The Celtics are the team that has retreated the fastest this season, but when General Manager Stevens first created this lineup, he focused on the present and ignored the salary pressure in the next few years. At a certain time point: the walls collapsed. The culprit of the failure of the Celtics is the ignored Jaylen Brown. From the time he signed a super maximum salary of 306 million in five years (later due to the salary cap shrinking to 289 million in five years), the Celtics have booked this ending. Fortunately, he finally won the championship last season. With Tatum also signing a super maximum salary of 315 million in five years, the team can only continue to reduce the stars outside the Double Tanhua next. But in my opinion, the Celtics need super giants, and the double-Tanhua is not that type. Instead of breaking up the team, it is better to take out Jaylen Brown and pursue superstars. Even if Jaylen Brown won the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals + Finals last season, he is also an overrated star.
