On when Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen almost became a Boston Celtic
Boston had just signed the hottest college coach in the country, Rick Pitino (we know, we know), and things looked like they might be about to turn around for the Celtics with such a move. The deal, of course, did not end up working out, with Pippen moved elsewhere and Boston entering its wilderness era.
But the folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip looking back at what might have been in a recent clip. Check it out below to hear the details for yourself.

Red Sox announce rotation for series vs. Astros, which includes Dustin May's Boston debut
The Red Sox have finally announced their full rotation for the team's weekend series against the Houston Astros at Fenway Park, which will include the Boston debut of newcomer Dustin May. The 27-year-old right-hander, who was acquired from the L.A. Dodgers ahead of Thursday's MLB trade deadline, will debut for the Red Sox in Sunday's series finale. One name you won't see listed among Boston's starters is ace Garrett Crochet, who is being given a few extra days of rest with 141.1 innings pitched already under his belt this season. Crochet was set to start Friday night's series opener, but will instead pitch next week against the Royals in Kansas City. The Red Sox hadn't announced his replacement until Friday, with recent Triple-A call-up Cooper Criswell set to toe the rubber at Fenway Park to start the three-game series. Criswell has made six relief appearances for Boston this season, but hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 1.2 innings of scoreless relief back on July 2. He made 13 starts (and 14 appearances overall) for Worcester and went 4-2 with a 3.32 ERA at the Triple-A level. He was 6-5 with a 4.08 ERA and 1.349 WHIP across 26 appearances (including 18 starts) for Boston last season. For his career, Criswell is 5-4 with a 3.71 ERA and 1.442 WHIP over 20 starts over his four MLB seasons. The Astros are starting Brown, who was excellent to start the season but struggled through the month of July. The 26-year-old righty went 0-2 with a 5.54 ERA over his five July starts, when he allowed 27 hits and issued 10 walks over 26 innings. He allowed only one run over five innings his last time out, but took the loss in a 5-1 defeat at the hands of the homeless Athletics. Buehler went only 4.2 innings his last time out, when he issued five walks and allowed three runs in a win over the L.A. Dodgers. But he was much better in July than other months this season, when he allowed just nine earned runs over his 22.2 innings of work. It lowered his ERA from 6.45 to start the month to the 5.72 ERA he brings into Saturday's start. Gordon is in his first season in the big leagues, and is looking to put a tough July behind him. The lefty gave up four runs off two homers and six hits his last time out in a loss to the Athletics. Gordon had a 6.14 ERA last month, when he allowed five homers and 16 runs over 22 innings. Saturday afternoon will be Gordon's first career start against the Red Sox. May will make his Red Sox debut one week after he pitched at Fenway Park for the Dodgers. In that outing, he allowed four runs off five hits against his new team. May left a hanging sweeper in the middle of the plate to Alex Bregman in the bottom of the fifth, and Bregman crushed it for a go-ahead, two-run homer to lift Boston to a 4-3 win. He'll be opposed by Valdez, who is having another excellent season for the Astros. He's been great against the Red Sox over his career, bringing a 3-1 record and 1.96 ERA in five games against Boston into Sunday's finale. Programing note: Sunday's game is a few hours earlier than usual, with first pitch scheduled for 11:35 a.m. because it's airing exclusively on Roku.

Boston Legacy sign midfielder Alba Caño from FC Barcelona
'Caño is a technical high-intensity player who will help us in several midfield positions.' Legacy general manager Domè Guasch said per a club statement. 'Alba reads the game very well, has great ball control and brings a strong team-first mentality. 'She is young, but has experience at the highest level as she has played alongside some of the best players in the world at Barcelona,' Guasch added. 'We are confident that she will continue to grow under [Legacy head coach Filipa Patão's] leadership.' Advertisement For Guasch, who also joined Boston from Barcelona, the move to sign one of his former team's midfielders makes obvious sense. The Catalonian club has dominated women's soccer since formally professionalizing in 2015. Barcelona have played in six of the last seven UEFA Women's Champions League finals, winning three of them. Two of its stars, Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati, have collectively won the last four consecutive Ballon d'Or Féminin awards (given to the world player of the year).
