Celtics Notes: Boston Signs Big Man, Lose Key Free Agent, Unfortunate Al Horford Update
The Boston Celtics had quite the start to the opening of NBA free agency on Monday.
Boston signed a center to a two-year, $5.5 million deal. The former Minnesota Timberwolves big man shows tons of potential, and at 6-foot-10, can help with the height that the Celtics so desperately need.
A main reason for Boston going after a center was unfortunately losing Luke Kornet to the San Antonio Spurs. Kornet heads to Texas on a four-year, $41 million deal after last year featured his highest usage in a Celtics uniform.
Finally, to round out the big man news, there is an unfortunate update regarding Al Horford. The Golden State Warriors are reportedly 'locked in' on the five-time All-Star as losing the veteran would be another significant blow to the Celtics.
Congratulations on the bag Luke….You will be missed in Boston champ! Good luck on your next chapter & thank you for delivering banner 18 🫡 🥲 pic.twitter.com/OlYgdlorgp
