Celtics star Jayson Tatum savagely shuts down Heat fan’s recruitment

Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum brutally denied a Miami Heat fan who tried to recruit him to the Vice City franchise.

On Saturday, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum supported Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade during his 2023 Hall of Fame enshrinement. But that doesn’t mean the young

Celtic has any interest in heading to South Beach.

While walking into Wade’s induction ceremony in Springfield, Massachusetts, Tatum was showered with cheers and comments from fans. One person even blurted out, “Come to

the Heat!”

In response to the Miami supporter, Tatum shook his head and said “nah” before laughing it off and moving on.

The last time Jayson Tatum and the Celtics faced off against Miami, they fell in disappointing fashion in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Although Miami has a talented

squad and roster Tatum’s friend, Bam Adebayo, it seems as if the Green Teamer would rather exact revenge on the Heat than join them.

For Celtics fans, this is a welcome sight, as Tatum has grown into one of Boston’s brightest stars. During the 2022-23 campaign, he became the first Celtic to average over 30 points

per game and in the postseason he set the record for the most points in a Game 7.

Ideally, the Celtics will keep Tatum in green for as long as possible. The 25-year-old is still under contract, yet he has a player option in 2025 and will become an unrestricted free

agent in 2026. If Boston wants to retain the powerful combination of Tatum and fellow star Jaylen Brown, it’ll have to pay the Duke alum handsomely.

As for the Heat, they’ll have to search elsewhere for extra star power. Yet, with Damian Lillard vocal about leaving Portland and James Harden unhappy in Philadelphia, there are

plenty of options for them.
