Those moves were supposed to turn the Celtics into title contenders. When the 2018 playoffs came, they were. However, it was the efforts of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown that led them to the Eastern Conference Finals. Tatum and Brown led the Celtics to a Game 7, on top of that.
Jayson Tatum spent several years in his career playing a background role with the Celtics. After being swept in 2021, the Celtics gave Tatum the keys.
