While one guard departs from Boston, another might be staying around.
After trading Kemba Walker to the Thunder on Friday, the Celtics “feel better” and believe they’ll “have an easier time” re-signing Evan Fournier this offseason, the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach and the Boston Herald’s Mark Murphy reported.
An NBA executive told HoopsHype that he believes Fournier, who made $17.5 million this past season, will look for a deal that pays him $15-20 million per year. However, former NBA executive and The Athletic NBA writer John Hollinger’s salary formula projects Fournier will make $12.
