Celtics Notes: Boston Favorite for All-Star Free Agent, Ex-Celtic Signs in Israel, Al Horford to Warriors?

In this story:
The Boston Celtics have recently been named favorites to land an All-Star guard in what would be a blockbuster signing for the basketball world. With all the uncertainty surrounding the roster this offseason, perhaps the news of another superstar heading to Boston will ease some of the tension in the air.
Additionally, speaking of roster turnover, a former Celtics champion is signing with a basketball team in Israel. Superstar Jayson Tatum spoke highly of his former teammate after signing a 10-day contract with the Philadelphia 76ers last season.
Finally, in the rumors that are increasingly feeling more true as the days go on, Al Horford has once again been linked to the Golden State Warriors. The big man is mulling his options between the Warriors, retirement, or even another surprise team in the mix, but a reunion seems unlikely
