Is this version of the Boston Celtics’ title window closing? On a recent episode of The Ringer’s “Bill Simmons Podcast”, the eponymous host discusses the Celtics’ chances of winning a title this season and in future ones, suggesting that last year was probably the team’s best chance at winning a title.
With the Eastern Conference getting more competitive than in past seasons and a few players on the roster who are aging or could leave the team in free agency coupled with the challenges of the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), Boston’s future is anything but set in stone this offseason.
Are the Celtics missing their title window? Do they need to pivot their core players to extend their championship hopes into the future, or could there be bigger moves on the horizon?
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what Simmons and guest Kevin O’Connor have to say about the future of the Celtics as contenders.
