Celtics 2025-26 Regular Season Discussion

Walsh seems to have solidly taken a step back in terms of his spot in the rotation.

Could you see him getting traded?

I was just looking at his monthly splits there. J Walsh shot 83.1% TS in the month of December. Back down to 50.5% TS for the month of January. 9.5ppg and 4.9rpg in 20.6mpg in Dec to 3.5ppg and 3.8rpg in 15.8mpg in Jan.

83.1% TS is ridiculous. What a hot streak.

It?s possible, but it would have to be as more than a throw-in.  He is still on his minimum contract through next year, and his salary will be even a little cheaper than a minimum-salary signed through free agency because the cap has increased faster than his raises.  As the Celtics are still cap- and tax-conscious, Walsh is quite valuable to the team even towards the back of the rotation at his price.

I am trying to figure out where the teams stands until when/if Tatum comes back.  We have had 3 games since the Vucevic trade and the paring down of the roster, with 3 different starting line ups.  Starters have included combinations of Brown, White, Hauser, Queta, Garza, and Scheierman.  There are only 12 players signed to roster spots with one of them being Tatum, who still can't play.

I just can't see Garza or Scheierman as starters (even though Garza was one of my predictions to start before the season).  I am wondering if coming out of the all star break if they will start Vucevic:

White       Pritchard         Shugla
Hauser     Scheierman     Gonzalez
Brown      Walsh              Harper
Vucevic    Garza              Tonje
Queta      Williams

Yikes!  It will look a lot better with Tatum added but for now, all (3) 2-way players are needed just to have a team, plus Amari Williams is still at a 2-way level of play.  Is this the team that is going to try and tread water until Tatum is back?  Just with 10-day contracts and vets signed in the last week of the season (whoever is left)?
