NBA players say the Celtics have a reputation for the best free-agent pitches in the league

ESPN recently conducted a survey of 48 anonymous NBA players about the coming free agency period this offseason. According to the results released Monday, a 27-percent plurality said the Celtics are known for making the best pitches. No other team got more than 15 percent of the vote.
