Geez, the reactions by fans and Celtic staff are overreactions.

Summer League is OPTIONAL. Not one dime of your salary is for summer league.

The kid went home, got back late. Drop it. Everyone else on that team is dying to be a 2-Way or minimum contract.

Larranga should just back off, instead of huffing and puffing. He'll never be an NBA Head Coach based on the way he reacted. Wreaks of immaturity, with less justification than Williams since the kid is 20 and Larranga is long past that.

Jammer, that’s called enabling.

Hell no on letting this slide.

I want him to be successful. He has to be a professional. No one is doing bed checks, what you eating, who you talking to. No one is mandating to get in the gym.

Have some damn personal pride and get your ass to the places on time.

You think he is going to read scouting reports? Kid embarrassed himself. I hope he knows it.

A lot of the bad management is on the Celtics and his agent. They all embarrassed themselves so blame it on the young guy.

GTFO.

He is responsible for himself. How many of ya’ll missed your intro conference cal, then missed your first day of orientation for a job?

There are kids Williams’ age who get fired if they do what he did. He is responsible for himself. Get your ass where you are supposed to be. Fly to your destination precious night.

It isn’t that hard. Don’t let your agent control your movements. You control.

Celtics couldn’t even find the damn kid.

At least the finals is going to be different this year. Finally. It is going to be Boston Vs Sixers vs Warriors for at least the next 5 years.

There are eager McDonald's employees who punch in early and leave late, but this kid is a professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics and can't muster bare minimum diligence and responsibility? Yikes.

The missed conference call and missed flight, along with his reputation for being unmotivated, is not a good pattern of behavior. Regardless of intent, it's disrespectful of Ainge, Brad, and really the whole organization. I hope this is immaturity that dissipates soon and not some recurring DeMarcus Cousins-esque character flaw type stuff.

I can't wait to see him go against Embiid and block a few of his shots.

As long as the kid keeps his head on straight and fulfills his responsibilities from here on out, Celtics fan will forgive him. Time to get his **** together.
