Does the Georges Niang deal and Chris Boucher signing mean Boston is focused on the future?
Does the Boston Celtics trading Georges Niang and signing Chris Boucher mean the front office is firmly focused on the future of the team? When news broke that the Celtics were salary dumping Niang's salary into the Utah Jazz' cap space, some fans of the team were not thrilled about the fact that more and more talent seemed headed out the door as this offseason progressed. But then Boston signed the former Toronto Raptors backup big man, with Boucher immediately becoming one of if not the best frontcourt players set to suit up for the Celtics this coming season. What are these moves telling us about what the team is prioritizing for the current season and beyond? The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip from a recent episode of their "Arbella Early Edition" that saw Chris Forsberg and Michael Holley, and Trenni Casey talk it all over.

Luka Doncic is named an ambassador for ESPN's Take Back Sports initiative
Armed with a new three-year, $165 million contract extension that he agreed to on Saturday, Luka Doncic can stay in the moment, as he will be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers for at least the next three seasons. He is about to take part in the EuroBasket tournament overseas. The competition's exhibition slate of games will start on Friday, and the actual tournament will commence near the end of this month. In the meantime, Doncic is teaming up with ESPN to become a Take Back Sports ambassador in order to promote an active lifestyle for children. 'Play changed my life. Every kid deserves the chance to play, learn, grow, have fun and make friends,' said Luka Dončić. 'The Luka Dončić Foundation and ESPN's Take Back Sports initiative are focused on making youth sports more accessible and less stressful for everyone. Together, we can bring the joy back to the game.' The Take Back Sports initiative was started earlier this year in collaboration with Golden State Warriors living legend Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha's Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. Now Doncic is a part of this large initiative that is not only encouraging kids to be active but is also looking to prevent kids from quitting sports. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry from the Baltimore Ravens and retired NFL stars Eli and Peyton Manning are just a few other athletes who have also been named as ambassadors for the Take Back Sports initiative.
