Jayson Tatum would go on to say that he wasn’t necessarily buying into all the Kevin Durant reports out there.

“I don’t believe everything I see on TV,” Tatum said. “I’ve seen some (expletive) on me that was a lie. You never really know what’s true or what’s not true.”

Obviously, the addition of Kevin Durant would turn the Celtics into perennial championship favorites heading into next season. But Jayson Tatum isn’t so sure there’s any smoke to all these rumors out there.
