Key Heat role player thought he’d make the Boston Celtics before being cut
Max Strus thought he’d be a member of the Boston Celtics back in 2019 following his signing of a two-way contract with the franchise — saying as much to Heavy’s Sean Deveney in a piece published on May 18.
“I did. Obviously, I got a two-way (with Boston) on draft night so I thought they thought very highly of me,” Strus prefaced before saying, “I had a good camp and Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens said it was one of the hardest decisions they had to make but at the end of the day it is a business and I understand that.”
