The Celtics have four free agents of their own--Jae Crowder, Brandon Bass, Luigi Datome and Jonas Jerebko. Danny Ainge has said all along he wants to keep Crowder, and on Monday the C's made him a qualifying offer. Crowder is now officially a restricted free agent, but the cost to retain him may be higher than anticipated considering what we've just seen:
Free agent Aminu Al-Farouq has agreed to a four year, $30 million deal with Portland, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
DeMarre Carroll has agreed to a four year, $60M deal with Toronto, league source tells Yahoo.
