The Celtics won’t have a lot of cap room when free agency opens on Monday, but they reportedly have interest in several players who could improve the team in the short term.
Per The Boston Globe‘s Adam Himmelsbach, the Celtics are increasingly unlikely to re-sign Evan Fournier — last season’s trade-deadline acquisition. Fournier reportedly could receive a very lucrative contract, and the Celtics seem to be prioritizing future flexibility over short-term moves.
Instead, the Celtics reportedly might take a look at players like Jeff Green, Rudy Gay, and Kelly Olynyk. Green and Olynyk are both former Celtics, and Olynyk in particular has expressed fond memories of playing in Boston.
