This is my top choice. Wiseman had a strong showing against us last year and there’s still raw talent that can be harvested in the right place. For a vet min flier I’m all for it

I really like Queta, and I hope they are not going to jerk him around by trying to get him to resign on a 2-way.

Somewhere around this number would be fair imo for Sam if we intend to keep him for entire run. Higher number of course could net you higher salaried player in case he gets traded as soon as next summer.

Guessing Phoenix will have first choice of vet min free agent bigs. It's slim pickins on their roster after Nurkic. Clear path to minutes there.

More likely the Celtics would try to sign Mo Bamba at the vet min if Kornet and/or Tillman’s price tag gets too high

Re: Free Agent, Trade & Extensions Thread, 2024-25
Especially if it’s to bring back Daniel Theis, lol
Like I like Theis but seriously that’d be some pure silliness to decline Queta, the much more impactful player, to open a roster spot for Theis.

I guess the problem is if Bamba or Wiseman becomes good we can't afford to keep them. Nice problem to have though

If Celtics resign Kornet and Tillman then they don’t need another big

Here's a pretty cool Yahoo article where they are updating free agent/trade news as it happens:

Didn’t he have that ACL tear mid season? He ain’t playing this year. Makes sense for ATL.

It's over, Johnny! He'll likely sign with the SUPERNOVA Knicks as they go for their third Championship in a row...

So, the Celtics declined Queta's option in order to negotiate a long term contract with him. Also they picked up Hauser's option in order to negotiate a long term contract with him.
The collective bargaining agreement makes my brain hurt.

Celtics and Queta probably already agreed to a long term deal. Probably be announced at 6:01 pm tomorrow

Isaiah Joe has some shooting potential and could be scooped up by the seven time repeating champion Knicks...

Celtics did same thing with Hauser two years ago. Turned down team option to sign him to a longer deal.
Queta for life.
