I’ve been with the Celtics nine years, and he was my teammate in every single one,” Tatum said.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“You understand that throughout the course of a career, the NBA is a business and people change teams, coaches, and front offices change, but it doesn’t make it any easier.“There’s still a human element to it that you feel those emotions. The city (Boston) feels those emotions.“But there’s also the side of having to welcome our new teammates with open arms, and we still have to attack the new season. So, there’s a balance, but it’s weird.”Tatum will now look ahead to working with his new Celtics teammates: Paul George, Mitchell Robinson and Mike Conley.The Celtics can still contend for the title next season, but it will depend more than ever on Tatum playing at an MVP level.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementRead more:
