‘I ain’t seen nothing like that before’: Robert Williams feels ‘urgency’ with new contract extension

Robert Williams seemed genuinely happy on Monday at Celtics media day, both with the contract extension he signed this summer that could pay him $48 million over the next four years, and when a reporter noted that he looks stronger.

“They got Andre Drummond over there with the 76ers, man, come on,” Williams said, breaking into a wide grin when he was asked. “I need a little meat on my bones. Obviously, don’t want to get to the point where I can’t use my versatility but for sure I tried to some pounds on.”

Williams finds himself in a fascinating position.
