Mass Live:
In order to stay under the tax line, the Celtics will need to time out their signings carefully. Boston currently sits about $843,000 below the line. That limitation could lead to Shulga also getting a roster spot down the road since his cap hit will be far lower than a veteran free agent signing. Boston will have flexibility to sign one veteran to their roster later in the season though so they could pursue some buyout options later in the regular season.
Boston may look to eventually bolster its team on the buyout market with some intriguing guards and wings expected to become available in the coming days. The team has the ability to sign any free agent that hits the open market after getting under the first apron this past week. However, a signing may not come until much later in the regular season for the tax reasons covered previously. A player may have to wait around for a bit before the Celtics can sign them for the year. Some 10-day contracts are also possible as well to fill the gap.
Cam Thomas, G, Nets; Jevon Carter, G, Bulls; Mike Conley, G, Hornets; Lonzo Ball, G, Jazz; Chris Paul, G, Raptors; Haywood Highsmith, F, Nets; Khris Middleton, G/F, Mavericks
Brad Stevens - "What we will be looking for will not be somebody that we're going to ask to come in and be a part of the everyday rotation when we're fully healthy,” Stevens told reporters at the Auerbach Center, via CLNS Media. “But we also need people who can come in, accept that, and be ready to help us move this thing down the hill and forward.”
We’ve got three good two-ways that we feel really good about,” Stevens explained. “That gives us a lot of flexibility here.”
