The Boston Celtics are yet again finding themselves intertwined with some of the league’s most buzzed-about available assets during this year’s offseason.
Though it may be 2020, a time in which nothing has seemed to have had a sense of normalcy, two weeks into this year’s offseason — or just shy of a month if you’re the Boston Celtics — all things seem to be going according to plan.
