Kelly Olynyk’s role with the Boston Celtics instantly became unclear after the addition of Al Horford. And now his future in Beantown is, too.

Do the Los Angeles Clippers have a Blake Griffin free-agency conundrum on their hands? Um, maybe. Griffin has an Early Termination Option for 2017-18 and can become a free agent next summer.
