3 reasons why the Boston Celtics could be on the brink of a dynasty

Reason No. 1) This young Boston Celtics core is under contract

When I mention the “young core” of the Boston Celtics, I am specifically referencing Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Robert Williams III.

The first thing that is important in a dynasty is having a core that sticks together for years. The Spurs had Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili; the Heat had James, Wade, and Bosh; and the Warriors have Curry, Thompson, and Green.

Well, the Celtics have Tatum, Brown, Smart, and Williams.

To be clear, I AM NOT comparing them to these all-time great players, but what I am saying is that these talents will all be together at least until Brown’s contract is up in two years.

When JB’s deal expires, I would hope Boston has at least one more Finals trip in them and they re-sign the All-Star wing.

Assuming they do, the team could be playing together until the conclusion of the 2025-26 season when everyone else’s contracts are up.

If the team can stay together until then, or even longer, they have the very real potential of becoming a dynasty given what they’ve achieved already at such young ages.

Concluding the 2025-26 season, Tatum will be 28, Brown will be 29, Smart will be 32, and Williams will be 28.

If the Boston Celtics are able to clear some space where they have enough money to keep paying these four, the rest of the NBA could be in trouble in the coming years.

Having these four players together is huge, but what’s important is how they progress together and, so far, they’ve only been getting better which brings me to my next point…
