Out of the blue, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that free agent guard Lonnie Walker IV had reached an agreement with the Boston Celtics on a one-year deal. The contract is an Exhibit-10 deal which essentially is a one-year deal that isn’t guaranteed.
It was a surprise to most fans that Brad Stevens was able to pick up this notable free agent this late into the summer. Admittedly, I assumed Walker would sign to a team when free agency opened back in June. Now, Boston has, on paper, their roster for next season which is very similar to last year’s team with only Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Oshae Brissett not on the team that helped Boston win the title back in June.
