Stevens on Al Horford’s departure: Unrestricted free agents have rights to make decisions for themselves.

“We offered both Al and Luke the opportunity to stay … we were gonna be handcuffed around the apron.”

Said $ they spent at center showed where they were at.

Said they’re excited to have Simons in their program. Also said they liked Niang and had to move on for financial reasons and called it a difficult conversation with him given he's from Mass.

Brown didnt look too far ahead when I asked, but the enormous challenge awaiting was obvious when Tatum went down. Next week, he'll begin leading the #Celtics in every aspect with Tatum out. G6, one of his roughest nights, showed the tough part: doing it every night www.clnsmedia.com/jaylen-brown...

The Celtics' biggest question to begin training camp next week is how Jaylen Brown will lead Boston with Jayson Tatum out. It's an opportunity he's awaited.

It's possible they stand pat, but there are a few things they could do if they want to... www.clnsmedia.com/watch-to-wat...
