"Rozier was a restricted free agent after the Boston Celtics extended the qualifying offer to him, but was close to finalizing a deal with the Phoenix Suns under the expectation that his qualifying offer would be rescinded to renounce his cap hold and make cap room for the Celtics to sign Kemba Walker. However, the Celtics and Hornets established the potential framework for a sign-and-trade deal that would result in a substantially larger payday for Rozier to comply with base year compensation rules."

"The deal allows the Celtics to retain the midlevel exception at $9.3 million and biannual exception at $3.6 million, in lieu of just the $4.8 million room exception they would retain if renouncing Rozier."

Would be awesome if true

I’m telling you guys...it’s Kanter.

I don’t want it. But I feel he is very active and would have signed right away or set up meetings. I think Ainge promised him but can’t release it until they get the money.

He can't play a lick of D but we'd see our first above average rebounder since fatass Sully.

2/10 on the room exception...id do it.

It seems the Kyrie S and T is dead though so the true Mid-Level is off the table no?

Looney still out there right?

If we've got 9.3mil available and a starting gig, how can we not be nabbing someone right now?

[GotDaSauce]

Noel trying to back out of OKC deal. Did Danny make the call??

[Green89]

Looney still out there right?

Love to get him, but we'd still need someone with more size.

[The Corey's]

Uh oh.

Crowd turning on Danny.

LOVE IT

You are going to get me banned again.

Were all getting banned.

That's how this summer is gonna go

[Memokerobi]

Ed Davis would have been nice. Utah putting together a strong team. The West will be crazy, if Russell goes to Min, 13 of 15 teams can be contending for a spot in the playoffs

Someone needs to explain this one to me.

[CSL_1904]

Looney still out there right?

Can't see the Warriors letting him go. They need every player they can get right now.

[Triple7]

Did I read in this thread somewhere that Hayward has said Timelord has been working hard and looks like a monster (or something like that)? Just curious where that came from if true.

He did say he will be a monster if he keeps working hard or something along those lines. said he's been out there working every day. Of course DA said the same thing about him working hard and always in the gym too. I can't wait to see him and I hope he meets his potential with us.

Watch on YouTube

He said he looks like a monster, not plays like a monster Brad should have given him more burn last season.

[Froob]

Let’s get Noah.

What year is this?

It’s not great, but he outta be cheap and looked good last year.

[Jakeopp]

If we pass on Favors to sign Kanter...smh

I'm starting to warm up to Kanter or Cousins tbh. A post scoring big man with a 4 out shooting line up might be cool.

Can't see anybody worth a damn on the defensive end tbh.

Cousins is by far the best center on the market if he's back in better shape and healthy. Can't see Ainge bringing on a personality like his though.

[rob4748]

Read on Twitter

Sounds like it wouldn't have worked.

[PierceFan4ever]

Just waiting for Danny to give me a call and ask if my skinny frame is ready to play center for the Celtics since everyone else is being taken.

Utah definitely went hard today! They are going to put up a fight out west!

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

Two Celtics contracts agreed to.









The Celtics President is giving this guy another 10 years at the team:






The Celtics Director of Player Personnel is giving this guy another 10 years at the team:






If you didn't think the Ainge Cartel was the biggest problem the Celtics had, as they created all the other big problems, you might know it now.


The Celtics are just like a Celine Dion concert, terrible.

Looney still out there right?

Love to get him, but we'd still need someone with more size.

Oh man, Looney will be useless here. We need someone bigger to defend embiid and Giannis.
