Jayson Tatum was Jeff Teague's latest guest on his Club 520 Podcast. In addition to Jayson Tatum sharing that he told his agent "I gotta get traded" when the Celtics signed Gordon Hayward after drafting him, the Celtics superstar broke down the lead-up to his 2017 NBA Draft.
Tatum says that it hurt that despite him being a huge Kobe Bryant fan the Lakers wouldn't even come to watch him workout. They were that focused on Lonzo Ball. Tatum had his eyes set on the playing time and warm weather of Phoenix, but the Celtics swooped in and after making a trade down to the #3 spot scooped up the young Duke forward there.
