The Celtics have one remaining roster spot after agreeing to re-sign Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman. The team has interest in bringing back wing Oshae Brissett, who declined his $2.5MM player option. However, Brissett is still seeking out another team that can offer more playing time, Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe reports.
The Celtics still have the option to bring back Brissett on a veteran’s minimum deal or with Non-Bird rights.
We have more from the Atlantic Division:
- In the same story, Himmelsbach reports that Jaden Springer and Jordan Walsh are expected to be on the Celtics’ Summer League roster. Current two-way player Drew Peterson, former two-way player JD Davison, draft picks Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson, and possibly Neemias Queta could also participate.
- Eric Gordon is playing for the Bahamas in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Spain. Gordon said his decision to sign with the Sixers on a minimum-salary deal was based partly on their chances of winning a title, Ben Istvan of the Philadelphia Inquirer relays. “Sixers fans should be happy,” the veteran guard said. “We’re going to be a team to be reckoned with, and we look forward to trying to win a championship next year.”
- In a subscriber-only story, the New York Post’s Stefan Bondy takes a look at how the Knicks’ rotation might shake out with the addition of Mikal Bridges.
Celtics didn’t resign JD Davison to a two way, hes not a Celtic currently I believe.
Correct luapnor.
They’d like to bring him back, but he’s not under contract yet.
Yep, that’s been fixed, thanks.
So the Celtics are winning summer league…
Brissett was on my list for the Heat these last 2 years, and there are a few options remaining, but he is 1 of the better options at his skillset, in comparison to others who play similar positions/have similar value, but in slightly different ways
EJ Gordon played great yesterday vs Poland. Bringing him off the bench makes him & Buddy better. Buddy had a great game too, going for 10asts for what has to be the 1st time in his life. Looking like they’re gonna have to beat Spain in Valencia on Sunday to make the Olympics but that seems very doable from everything I’ve seen so far.. link to m.youtube.com
Brunson, Hart, Bridges, Anunoby, Randle
Divincenzo, FA floor spacing big/Mitchell Robinson/Achiuwa/Sims (assuming they bring him back), Dadiet, Mcculler/Achiuwa, McBride, Kolek/Achiuwa
Off the bench
Probably could us a more reliable shooting option at the 3/4 off the bench, but they could manipulate the minutes where Brodges or OG or Josh Hart just play more minutes…which isn’t outside the realm of Thibodeau
Come on now Robinson has to start. This is a defensive minded team. They gotta have that rim protector there.
I don’t see Randle coming off the bench
Yes, because Hart comes off the bench. It’s clearly:
Brunson
Bridges
Anunoby
Randle
Robinson
…maybe the knicks won’t be as good as I thought then
Or maybe you just don’t know what you’re talking about.
Such a Boston Celtics 2024 Summer League roster as mentioned would be terrific to watch! And then we can make our own judgements on who can help us this season or next. All those names mentioned as possible SL players need to be, we’re planning on them being, the next man up for this 2024 NBA Championship team. Go Celtics!
