The Boston Celtics have a few updates on veteran big man Al Horford. The 39-year-old center is reportedly considering retirement or signing with a major rival out West.

Additionally, the Celtics are looking to bring in superstar Damian Lillard. The recently-waived point guard likely wouldn't be available for most of, if not all of the upcoming regular season, but Boston could prove to be an incredible fit for the nine-time All-Star.

Finally, a top insider made a major prediction regarding the possibility of the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown. Boston's roster is seemingly changing by the day as the would-be deal would likely get a massive return, as shocking as it would be to fans.
