It’s been rumored all week, but with twenty-four hours left until the official start of free agency, it sounds like the Celtics have finally got their man:
As reported this week, the Celtics and Walker both intend for the All-Star guard to commit to a four-year, $141M maximum contract once free agency opens on Sunday at 6 PM. Walker is traveling to New England to meet with Celtics officials at 6 PM ET. https://t.co/KxKR56ezXB
