Wait, what? The Celtics… breaking up? After one of the most chaotic postseason exits in recent memory, Boston’s core suddenly finds itself under the microscope. Jaylen Brown trade rumors are flying again. Derrick White and Jrue Holiday’s futures are uncertain. Kristaps Porzingis is available for a trade. And the team’s 119-81 loss to the Knicks in their elimination game? The kind of defeat that forces uncomfortable conversations in front offices.
But just as speculation started spiraling, Jayson Tatum dropped a message without saying a word. On his Instagram story, he reposted a clip from Celtics content producer Aaron James showing him walking across the court, smiling. The caption? “Flowers die and diamonds don’t. We’ll be back #617Day.” That’s June 17, the date of their 17th championship back in 2008.
Call it cryptic. Call it calculated. But that grin? It didn’t look like someone ready to give up on this group. So what now? Brad Stevens has big decisions to make. If they do break up, this heartbreak will be even bigger than Dallas losing Luka Doncic. The roster’s expensive, the expectations are even heavier, and the clock is ticking. But if Tatum’s message means anything, Boston’s star still believes this core has one more title push left in it. Come back here for more updates!
