The Boston Celtics have had quite the offseason.
After falling short in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Miami Heat, many around the league expected them to make some moves.
The Portland Trail Blazers recently sent Jrue Holiday to the Celtics shortly after trading for him from the Milwaukee Bucks.
While Holiday will be a welcomed addition to this roster, the Celtics traded two of their top role players back to the Trail Blazers.
After Robert Williams and Malcolm Brogdon were moved, Jayson Tatum wrote messages to each player on his Instagram, per Ball is Life’s Twitter account.

Williams and Brogdon each had a relationship with Tatum, one of the league’s brightest stars.
They’ll each have an opportunity on the Trail Blazers, hoping to become stars in their own right.
While Tatum might miss Williams and Brogdon, adding a player of Holiday’s caliber will likely cheer him up.
Holiday is widely viewed as one of the league’s best defenders, which should help this Celtics roster.
Pairing him up with Tatum and Jaylen Brown will be a “Big 3” effect for the Celtics.
Adding Holiday was a necessary step for the Celtics as they compete with teams like the Bucks, who made a massive splash by adding Damian Lillard.
Will they be able to turn that into a meaningful season?
This trio has never played together, something they’ll need to work on to achieve success.
With the season slated to begin in a few weeks, these three have limited time to establish chemistry.
