By all appearances the Celtics finished filling out their roster today. It was a busy day of (minor) moves.
- Tyler Zeller got a 2 year deal for $16M with only the first year guaranteed.
- Demetrius Jackson is getting a guaranteed contract (length of deal still TBD).
- Ben Bentil is getting a non-guaranteed contract.
Jaylen Brown hasn’t officially been signed, but barring any trades that’s a foregone conclusion.
So basically the roster now looks like this:
Guards: Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, RJ Hunter, James Young, Demetrius Jackson
Wings: Jae Crowder, Gerald Green, Jaylen Brown, Jonas Jerebko, John Holland*
Bigs: Al Horford, Amir Johnson, Kelly Olynyk, Tyler Zeller, Jordan Mickey, Ben Bentil*
(*denotes non-guaranteed contract)
That’s 18 players for a 15 man roster, so something will have to give.
