That may be possible. But, I'm sure that he could get a better deal (and playing time), elsewhere.

He doesn't really have a choice as the Celtics can just match any offer. Unless I somehow missed that they didn't offer him the QO?
Theis is rumored to be interested in a return to Europe

I like this one now:

Kemba, Smart, McConnell, Edwards
Brown, Tatum, Hayward, Langford, Semi
RWIII, Kanter, Poirier, Vonleh, GWill

Vonleh/McConnell signed with Zoya magic from the other thread. Sub Jeremy Lin in for McConnell if you must.

Yeah. If he gets a good offer from an NBA team, then I don't think that the Celtics will match.
Overseas though, that's another deal. We'd still have his Bird Rights.

Edit:
Scratch that. Theis is re-signed, 2 years, $10 Million.

After the Theis signing, and before the next move:

Kanter, R Williams, Poirier (Tacko)
Tatum, Theis, G Williams (Yabusele)
Hayward, Semi
Brown, Langford
Kemba, Smart, Edwards (Waters)

That team just went from way too small to huge in the last 24 hours.

Ballhandlers: Smart, Walker, Edwards, Waters (on a 2-way?), [Hayward], {Dozier on a re-upped 2-way?}
Wings: Brown, Tatum, Hayward, Semi, Langford, [Smart/Langford in small lineups]
Bigs: Kanter, Williams, Williams, Theis, Poirier, [Semi in small lineups], {Yabusele has to be gone I think}, {Tacko is not getting any kind of deal beyond SL at this point}

A lot of fun lineup combos possible here, expect a lot of experimentation in the regular season and a lot of, "what is Stevens doing with this lineup?" posts in gamethreads.

Trust me on this, the need to add a veteran backup point guard is not as pressing as you think. Tremont (Street) Waters will make this roster and contribute.

Any vet PG available right now is just gonna get the Wanamaker role at best.

Who was offering Theis 5 mil a year?

For bench rider PG, Mudiay? He at least has some size to him compared to the 2 rooks

Walker, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, Kanter
Smart, Langford, Semi, Theis, R. Williams
here's where the roster gets iffy:
Edwards, (maybe RJ Hunter), (trade of Yabu) G.Williams, Poirier

2 way Tacko, Waters

I expect Yabu to be traded for a vet SF. Why else would they have him in summer league except to showcase somehow.

ok so we've got our 15:

pgs: Walker/Edwards/Wanamaker/Waters
wings: Brown/Smart/Langford/Tatum/Hayward/Semi
bigs: Kanter/Theis/R Williams/G Williams/Poirier/Yabu

2-way: Fall

I'd like to think more moves are coming, but who could it possibly be at this point? Nobody is realistically available who would improve our roster.

Ainge, for the most part, has notoriously kept any move that comes out of nowhere extremely quiet. There might not be one, but if there is, we won't be able guess it or see it coming. It will just happen.

According to reload Yabu is going to get cut

net, net:

back and hopefully better (9): Hayward, Tatum, Brown, Smart, R. Williams, Theis, Semi, Wanamaker, Yabu

gone(5): Irving, Horford, Morris, Rozier, Baynes

new (7): Kemba, Kanter, Langford, G. Williams, C. Edwards, Poirier, Waters


All in all - a much more together team.
Given circumstances I think Ainge did a good job.

With 15 players on the roster now, there is no room for Tacko. Unless they sign him as a 2 way.

Decisions to be made on keeping (securing) 2 of 3 of Yabs, Waters, and Fall. 1 spot on the 15 and 1 2-way contract available.
Thanks Brad for answering my ad,
"Boston Celtics Barbershop, cutters wanted."
But after KP, your C play? You broke my heart Fredo.

I have to think Waters is probably getting a 2-way contract. And they signed Strus to a 2-way already. The decision likely comes down to Yabusele or Fall.

I like the roster but dislike our front court. Losing Horford has hit me hard.
