Brian Windhorst predicts strong season for Celtics after major roster changes

ESPN's Brian Windhorst forecasts that the Boston Celtics could have a successful regular season despite significant roster changes. Following a trade that sent Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, expectations for Boston's performance have shifted. Windhorst believes that with George, who offers potential as a key perimeter shooter, the Celtics might finish ahead of the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference standings. His prediction hinges on George's health and capability to perform consistently. The Celtics, who finished second in the East last season, now face a more uncertain future post-trade.
