Beal to Celtics? Tatum’s Influence Questioned | NBA News

Rumor has it Bradley Beal could be headed to Boston, but don’t get too excited—this is more smoke than fire. Tatum’s alleged connection to Beal has sparked chatter, but there’s no proof he’s pushing for the move. If he were, it’d echo the Jaylen Brown controversy, where Tatum was publicly cleared of any influence—and now suddenly advocating for a teammate? That’s a messy double standard. Plus, Beal’s been a free agent all summer—if Boston really wanted him, they’d have acted already. And signing him? That’d push the Celtics over the luxury tax, forcing cuts before the season even starts. Not exactly a smart move for a team trying to build something sustainable.
