The defending champion failed to defend his title, and various media outlets of the US media made plans for the management in advance and broke up the team!

The defending champion is about to demolish the team? Famous reporter Shams revealed that regardless of whether the Celtics wins or loses this season, whether Tatum is injured or not, the Celtics originally planned to adjust the roster in the upcoming offseason, and Tatum's injury this time will create more possibilities.

Tatum's injury is just a fuse, and the long-term imbalance in salary structure is the real time bomb for the Celtics.

Recently, various media people have been paying attention to the future of the Celtics. According to the US News, if the Celtics decide to trade core players, the Rockets and the Spurs will be two teams worth paying attention to.

US salary experts analyzed the Celtics' new season and believed that if the Celtics want to continue to maintain their current lineup, their salary is expected to reach at least $240 million next season, far exceeding the $231 million in the second-rich line, and the luxury tax they need to pay will exceed their total salary to reach $263 million. In this case, the team owners may take multiple options.

First one possibility is to leave Tatum, White, and Brown behind, reduce salary pressure, and then trade Porzingis' expiration contract, and then send Hauser, Holiday, etc. away. The media has given Holiday's next odds today. The Nets and Pistons tied for the top spot, and the Lakers are on the list!

Another option is to directly rebuild it, trade Brown in exchange for draft picks, young players, and expiration contracts, focusing on the new season, but this is not easy to deal with, because Brown's contract has 4 years left, which is extremely difficult to trade.

Just today, a reporter from The Ringer revealed that White may become one of the main operations of the Warriors in the offseason, but salary may be an obstacle for the Warriors. Next year, White's contract will be $28.1 million, and Butler's contract will also be executed at the start of next season, at $52.41 million.

In short, the season has not yet ended and the Celtics are already facing plans to demolish the team. Although the Celtics management has not yet made a decision, the team has failed to defend its title and its salary will explode again, and the ending of the Celtics is already destined.
