Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders has a few tidbits on the Celtics off-season plans. Let’s start with Gerald Wallace:
Gerald Wallace remains the lone veteran contract Boston would like to move and sources say the Celtics would be willing to part with one of the half dozen or so first-round draft picks they have amassed to move him this off-season. Wallace will be entering the final year of his contract and is owed $10.1 million.
I’d say a late 1st round pick is worth $10 million in cap space. The Clippers pick (28th) in this draft makes the most sense.
