The Boston Celtics and Grant Williams had until 6:00 PM on Monday, October 17 to reach an agreement on a rookie scale extension. No agreement was reached, and Williams will now play out the final year of his rookie scale contract before free agency in July.
We don’t know how big the gap was between Boston’s offer and Williams’ desired deal, but sources told CelticsBlog that the two sides were far apart. Given there were never even reports of things being close between Williams and the Celtics, that intel was probably accurate.
So, what happens now?
