Expect Boston to return from London with a renewed Stevens infused focus - with a high probability that Tatum moves forward with a higher usage rate after Stevens has a long-awaited opportunity to put his practice stamp on this squad.
The London training camp and Ainge's use of the $8.5 million Hayward injury exemption should lead to an updated team presentation later in the year.
Cleveland, however, remains the team to beat in the East.
