Boston Celtics Rumors
Cameron Tabatabaie: Jayson and Jrue received their Team USA Olympic jerseys pic.twitter.com/4AD57kL2Ph
Tim Reynolds: Jayson Tatum will wear No. 10 at the Paris Olympics. (Anthony Edwards wore it last summer at the World Cup, and Edwards is on this team, but Tatum keeps 10). A huge deal to Tatum, since 10 was Kobe’s Olympic number.
(There have been no substantive talks between the team and Thompson’s representatives about a new deal for months now, sources said. Both sides surely took note of the four-year, $135 million extension Jrue Holiday — almost exactly Thompson’s age — signed with the Celtics last week. Thompson will draw some interest in free agency, league sources said.)
Al Horford thinks Blake Griffin should be a Hall of Famer
Marc D’Amico: Al Horford says Blake Griffin is a Hall of Famer, and says “there was a long hope that maybe he was gonna be around in some way (this season)” with the Celtics. Remembering last season, Horford adds that Blake “made it enjoyable for me.”
