THE CALL ITSELF was not unusual. In the seven years they'd played together, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had kept in touch over the summers. Mostly via text, but occasionally they'd run into each other somewhere after the playoffs had ended and before training camp began. They were teammates and colleagues, but not close friends.
Offseasons tend to feel very short when playoff runs are long. And people tend to give each other space during the offseason before coming back to try to climb the mountain together again.
