How the Boston Celtics’ front office fleeced the NBA

The Boston Celtics have put together a brilliant assembly of talent in their starting lineup so far in the NBA’s 2023-24 season, creating a formidable ball club that excels on both ends of the court. While the spotlight often shines on star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, the additions of veteran combo guard Jrue Holiday, star big man Kristaps Porzingis, and maybe the team’s most important player when it comes to winning, Derrick White, have elevated the team’s performance to new heights.

The interplay between White and Holiday, coupled with Porzingis’ spacing, results in a potent offensive unit, and Celtics’ starting lineup stands as a testament to the front office’s strategic vision under team president Brad Stevens.

The folks behind the “Thinking Basketball” podcast recently put together a clip on how the Celtics fleeced the league to put together that starting five.

Check out the clip above to hear their thoughts.
