Report: Celtics renounce rights to Terry Rozier, making him an unrestricted free agent

That's a bad title, and one word makes all the difference in the world, with regards to this.

Boston will renounce the rights to guard Terry Rozier - to open up a max slot for Kemba Walker - and he’ll become an unrestricted free agent, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Report: Celtics Won't Rescind Terry Rozier's Qualifying Offer Until Necessary

So, from the reports, Boston is trying to maneuver things enough to get Horford back, keep the Bird rights to their players, and get a full MLE, which would almost certainly be used to bring in someone to play center.

To follow the above post, that would leave the Celtics with

MLE center
Theis
Williams
Horford
Hayward
Ojeleye
Tatum
Brown
Smart
Walker
Morris
Yabusele
3 Rookies
Bottom of roster trio

If they wanted them all.

In other words, it would essentially be a slight tinkering of last year's team, with the main changes being Irving-Walker and Baynes-MLE center and the rookies, should any or all have impactful first years.

Fake news got me again.

Fake news got me again.

They are going to rescind eventually.

Kanter will be having a phone call with two teams tonight, according to an ESPN report, and the Celtics are one of the two teams. Portland is the other team.

The Big Al rumors:

4 years $112 mill contract out there in FA.
Celts would have gone 3 years $85-90 mill (Jackie MacMullan)
Celts working sign n trade to keep Big Al.
Teams lining up for Big Al (Sac, Phil, NOP, LA, etc)
Big Al not taking meetings

Let’s play along: Celts manage sign n trade....either:
Big Al takes less to stay
Boston extends offer to 4 years despite having to manage his health this year
Or
Every mediot knows nothing and just bends to the will of their corrupt self serving sources.

If Big Al does return: Ainge will look like a stealth superstar and Green Teamers will fellate ad nauseum.

Toss in next year C’s own #1, we have too many on the roster now.

Stein tweeted Brooklyn very confident they are getting KD.

I said a few weeks back that the nets may be the best run team in New York. I really believe it’s true. If this happens it’s so monumental for that franchise

Just following up on fightingIrish's post

An undeniable vibe of confidence is emanating from Brooklyn as we speak: The Nets sure seem to believe they are getting Kevin Durant's commitment tonight to go with Kyrie Irving"s ... with DeAndre Jordan, Durant's close friend, to follow

Kevin Durant is planning to sign with the Brooklyn Nets, league sources tell ESPN.

Durant's planning to make a formal announcement on The Board Room Instagram at 6 PM. Durant's camp won't confirm his decision, and says "Details will be revealed at 6."

Lol. People saying the Nets are back. Are they forgetting the cancer Kyrie is there for a year by himself and Durant is 32 coming off an achilles.


Lol. I swear most reporters are are dumbest people out there. Kyrie just blew up Boston and Durant isn’t even playing next year.

Well it's great news for teams in the west ... I agree with your post.

Looking like it’s kawhi or bust for the lakers if the rumors of DLo to the wolves are true.

Brooklyn is making a clean sweep tonight: Brooklyn will sign Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan, league sources tell ESPN.

Sources: Durant will sign a 4-year, $164M deal with the Nets; Irving will sign 4-years, $141M.

 

[ViperGTS]

Clean sweep to disappointment maybe. Cryrie, broken Durant and Jordan. I’d be pissed if the Cs had done the same thing.

One sign and trade need is happening.

Free agent guard Terry Rozier plans to agree to a three-year, $58M contract with the Charlotte Hornets via sign-and-trade, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

That's a big enough contract to make the 3 way ST with Brooklyn work.
