Where do the Celtics stand in the East?
No more boo-hooing over last season. With the outlook of the entire league being vastly different, it’s time to adjust expectations accordingly. Follow @Taco_Haus The Celtics are now a team of x-factors. Is Gordon Hayward back to being himself? Do either of the Jays take a big leap? Can the rookies contribute right away? The trajectory of this team is still positive, but the potential for stagnation still exists. If every returning player is exactly as good as they were last year, the Celtics might not be one of the five best teams in the conference. Progress is not linear, and as...

NBA Rumors: Celtics Could Offer Jaylen Brown & Gordon Hayward For Russell Westbrook, Per ‘Sports Illustrated’
The Oklahoma City Thunder might not have joined the pursuit of Kawhi Leonard in the 2019 NBA free agency, but they ended up being one of the NBA teams who’s greatly affected by his decision.

In three out of four seasons it scored Al Horford, Gordon Hayward and Kemba Walker. An unprecedented wave of player movement followed this summer, featuring Anthony Davis, Paul George and Kevin Durant all teaming up with friends in whatever situation fit. The bumbling Lakers, the long-hapless Clippers and a Nets franchise that was never previously a destination scored the top fish on the market....

Can Robert Williams speed up time?
If The Timelord can fast forward his development, there’s an opportunity for major minutes next season. Brad Stevens has given Robert Williams unsolicited praise during the off-season. Gordon Hayward, who has reportedly been at The Auerbach Center a ton since the playoffs ended, recently pumped him up on his appearance on Pat McAffee’s podcast: Sky's the limit for him, man. He's long and athletic, jumps effortlessly to block shots or to catch lobs. He's somebody that I've been in the gym with.
