Celtics reportedly lowballed Grant Williams in contract negotiations

If you thought that the only reason that the Boston Celtics and Grant Williams didn't come to a contract extension was because the forward must have been asking for way too much, you'd be wrong according to a report today by Hoopshype's Michael Scotto.

Grant Williams reportedly was only asking for $14 million per year. Before anyone says, "That's too much!" take a look at what top reserves and part time starters are making in the NBA now. And those dollar numbers will only go way up with the new TV deal coming.

During extension talks with Grant Williams, the Celtics never offered more than $50 million guaranteed over four years, league sources told HoopsHype.
