The Boston Celtics made some significant moves this offseason, transforming the team in ways that may well prove critical to their title hopes down the line. But to do so, have they taken a step backward in the NBA’s Eastern Conference arms race?
Even if you think the team itself got a little bit better this offseason, the case can be made that their peers in the East did as well, and some of them considerably so.

Host of the CLNS Media podcast “Celtics Beat” Adam Kaufman and Boston legend Cedric Maxwell spend some time in a recent podcast discussing exactly this issue. And while they aren’t going full green teamer in their assessment, they might surprise you with their takes.
Watch the video embedded above to get a feel for where at least some prominent Celtics minds are ranking Boston in the East for the season soon to arrive.
