Stevens on Al Horford’s departure: Unrestricted free agents have rights to make decisions for themselves.

“We offered both Al and Luke the opportunity to stay … we were gonna be handcuffed around the apron.”

Said $ they spent at center showed where they were at.

Stevens: “We feel very fortunate Anfernee was included … we feel really lucky.”

Said they’re excited to have Simons in their program. Also said they liked Niang and had to move on for financial reasons and called it a difficult conversation with him given he's from Mass.

C's are fully healthy aside from Tatum, Brad Stevens said at media day.

"We have a lot of guys that are unproven, with that comes great opportunity."

"Making sure we communicate well across our organization ... the value each individual can bring ... and then letting the coaches do their job."
