The Boston Celtics have been in the headlines nonstop since their disappointing showing in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Amid questions about what the future holds for this group and its stars, trade speculation has run rampant.
Jaylen Brown has been linked to some potential moves, due in no small part to his questionable chemistry alongside Jayson Tatum. The specter of Bradley Beal has also begun to hover over Boston.
All that being said, personnel moves aren’t the only reason this team has found itself trending this week.
A Celtics cheerleader who achieved notoriety during this year’s NBA playoffs caused something of a stir this week with her wild photos.
The dancer in question, Jocelyn, has nearly 16,000 followers across social media and blows up online fairly routinely.

“Pretty gals,” one person remarked.
“Beautiful,” a second person agreed.
This isn’t the first time Jocelyn has gone viral in this fashion. Her past provocative photos were also a huge hit.
Plus, there is also just her standard social media output, which never fails to impress.

Cheerleading aside, though – it will be interesting to see what the offseason holds for the Celtics. Beal has been closely linked to four teams over the past few days, but his ties to Tatum are a matter of public record.
Whether Boston can make something happen there or not remains to be seen.
One name that is increasingly being linked to possible outbound trades is Malcolm Brogdon. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Phoenix Suns are very interested in him. Particularly if they fail to get their Plan A point guard target this offseason.

Finally, there is also the matter of Brown’s contract. He is eligible for the super max this year and, at the moment, all signs point to him getting it.
That said, with Tatum also being due a super max in the near future, there are legitimate questions regarding how the Celtics can proceed in a financially responsible fashion in light of the new CBA.
This promises to be a crazy summer for Boston. Celtics cheerleaders’ wild photos may be landing the franchise in the headlines now, but as the days progress it will likely be the front office’s actions that generate more buzz.
