The Boston Celtics have been busy all offseason with cost-cutting measures to get under the luxury tax. They don’t expect to contend for a championship next season due to star Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury, but he will still make a guaranteed $54M with the start of his contract extension. Their latest frugal move is signing G-league player Ron Harper Jr. to an Exhibit 10 contract, snagging him from the Pistons’ affiliate Motor City Cruise.
Harper comes from a family with a lot of basketball pedigree. His father Ron Sr. played 15 years in the NBA and won championships with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, and his younger brother Dylan was just drafted second overall to the Spurs.
