ESPN predicts Celtics may trade Derrick White and Payton Pritchard

ESPN suggests that the Boston Celtics could face significant roster changes ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. The team, which improved its ranking from 13th to third in ESPN's three-year outlook, may part ways with Derrick White and Payton Pritchard. With Jayson Tatum remaining the only member from the 2024 championship team potentially left by the 2029-30 season, the Celtics' new ownership seeks to make impactful trades. Currently, Pritchard can become a free agent after the 2027-28 season, while White has a contract that runs through 2028-29. Boston's management is viewed positively, suggesting they are prepared for these transitions.
