The Boston Celtics are reportedly expected to show interest in free agent forward Nicolas Batum this offseason, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports:
It is anticipated that the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz will have strong interest in trying to pry away the 14-year veteran from Clipper Land, sources said.
Batum recently declined his $3.3 million player option with the Clippers, choosing to enter unrestricted free agency. The 33-year-old veteran has spent the last two seasons in LA, where he was able to revitalize his career after a failed stint with the Charlotte Hornets.
