After an active few days before the start of free agency in which multiple trades were made, the Boston Celtics have sat quietly amidst a league-wide spending spree. They brought back Enes Kanter but also let two members of last year’s team, Evan Fournier and Semi Ojeleye, sign elsewhere.
According to CelticsBlog’s own Keith Smith, that inaction isn’t by accident. The Celtics have their eyes set on the summer of 2022, which requires them to keep their cap space as empty as possible, which means not making moves that would compromise the goal of being players in next year’s free agency.
