The Boston Celtics are preparing for strong scenario that All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Al Horford will leave as free agents, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
So basically, if we lose Horford (welp), let Morris + Rozier walk, I think we'll have about 20M in cap space, and more if they somehow decide to renounce/trade guys like Yabu, Semi, etc. Probably not enough for a max FA, but even then our roster suddenly looks REALLY thin. Horford was literally the face of our front court.
Also, this makes me surprised that Baynes opted-in. Did he know this was all going to unfold?
