On the heels of their embarrassing first-round playoff exit to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics appear poised to make some major changes this offseason.

That could involve trading Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Celtics could also look to swap Brown for Trey Murphy III or another star.

Everything and everyone is on the table this summer, it seems, except perhaps Jayson Tatum. Accordingly, NBA insider Kevin O'Connor expects Boston's roster to look considerably different next season,

"I would be floored if the Celtics enter next season with a roster that looks identical to last season," O'Connor told 98.5 The Sports Hub on Monday. "The window's open... I think they should go all in... I think for Boston, they will be aggressive in making moves this offseason, and that should be exciting."

Brad Stevens has a track record of multiple transformative offseasons under his belt, so it's hard to imagine he'll stand pat this summer and run it back after the Celtics' postseason collapse.

O'Connor also believes Boston's new owner, Bill Chisholm, wants to "put his stamp" on the franchise and will support Stevens shaking up the roster.

Even if the Celtics don't get Antetokounmpo, they still have plenty of time and options to pivot to as they try to build a championship contender for next season.
