If the Celtics are as interested in Chicago’s Jimmy Butler as Stephen A. Smith claimed Monday, they’ll have company in trying to land the veteran small forward.
The juiciest of the reports to emerge Monday came from ESPN’s Marc Stein, who tweeted that the Cavaliers are trying to acquire the 27-year-old.
