If you were shocked to get the Twitter notification that Boston was signing Jabari Parker, you weren’t the only one. The Celtics will reportedly waive Moritz Wagner to add Parker. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, Parker will sign a two-year deal with Boston.
Before we get to what Parker may bring to the Celtics on the floor, let’s cover some general reasons Danny Ainge may have made this move.
Wagner was, at best, a fifth big for Boston. He’s behind Robert Williams, Tristan Thompson, Grant Williams and Luke Kornet in the big man rotation.
