Celtics Most Likely to Trade $134 Million All-Star This Summer in Wake of Tatum Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Celtics are looking at taking a step (or two) back next season in a semi-teardown/rebuild of a roster that is set to be among the most expensive in NBA history.

It was as if the 1986 Boston Celtics lost Larry Bird. It was as if the 1968 Los Angeles lost Elgin Baylor. It was Jayson Tatum’s torn Achillies, a devastating injury that might derail the Boston Celtics for years to come.

In their second-round loss to the New York Knicks, the Celtics suffered a much more devastating loss than on the scoreboard when Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles in Game 4. With an Achilles tear keeping star players out for entire seasons in the past, Boston is hopeful to see Tatum on the floor sometime next year.
