I’ve been saying this for a long time, and I've been called crazy, but Tatum just doesn’t seem fully tied to Boston. He's made some peculiar comments in the past that made me think he wants out and then it was clear as day to me right after the Finals loss to Golden State, he was hanging with the ops at Draymonds wedding., and people acted like it meant nothing. Now he’s talking about the pressure of playing in Boston, how he’d be appreciated more in places like Memphis, and he hasn’t exactly shown much urgency about returning to this year’s team. If he actually was as good as he's self-proclaimed to be, why not just come off the bench for a little bit and help your team?
I’m not saying a trade is happening tomorrow, but the Tatum/Celtics relationship doesn’t feel as solid as it used to.
