The Boston Celtics are nearing a regular season with a ton of roster uncertainty, and without superstar Jayson Tatum, there is no clear identity to the team. An insider recently highlighted Boston's biggest weakness heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

In other news, a recent first-round draft pick could break out this year, according to a bullish insider. With the Eastern Conference wide open and the Celtics having room for roster fluidity, perhaps the insider will be proven right as the second-year guard prepares for another year.

Finally, a league analyst believes that longtime Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. "Playoff Rondo" has a resume that stacks up to some of the best court generals, and a pair of championships to his name certainly doesn't hurt the case to be made.
