The first reality to state is obvious: Tatum isn't going anywhere.
He's the face of the Celtics, and he and Jaylen Brown will hope for redemption next season.
The good news for Tatum is that he should get a healthy offseason this time around. After last season's torn Achilles in the playoffs, Tatum was in full-on rehab mode.
Now, once whatever this knee issue is subsides, Tatum can get in the lab and work on growing his game.
The Celtics don't necessarily need to remodel their roster. They seemed formidable this year, and that was even with Tatum shaking the rust off.
They can improve around the edges, but expect this painful ending for Tatum to serve as quality motivation.
It's safe to plan on the Celtics being back and better in 2026-27. That should scare the rest of the Eastern Conference.
