The Boston Celtics have had uncertainty surrounding big man Al Horford all offseason long. While the veteran weighs his options, a new team seems to have emerged as a candidate to land him.

Additionally, a team expert discussed the idea of superstar Jayson Tatum potentially returning this season. Usually, an elite NBA player can get back to the court within a nine-to-12-month timeline, but for someone as resilient as Tatum, there is no doubt that he will do everything in his power to get back as soon as possible.

Finally, a Celtics Hall of Famer made a prediction regarding head coach Joe Mazzulla's long-term future with the team. Winning a championship can do a lot for a coach, but especially in Boston, the goal will always be multiple rings.
