Team USA 2019 has four of the five most important players on the Boston Celtics. Ipso facto, the success of this year’s FIBA team directly correlates to the future of the franchise.
When Tim Reynolds revealed on Twitter that Team USA will be adding De’Aaron Fox and Joe Harris, Celtics nation should have been elated. Both players will be bonding with the core of the 2019-20 Boston Celtics, which increases the likelihood that both end up in Beantown at some point or another. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan showed what an Olympic gold medal can do for a friendship this past July.
