Spurs have Celtics to thank for their home run free agent signing

The San Antonio Spurs' biggest free agency move went under the radar but could have a giant impact on the team this season. They signed center Luke Kornet to a four-year deal within minutes of the start of free agency, and that is quickly looking like a smart move on their part.

However, considering the unique financial situation that his former team, the Boston Celtics, was facing, the Spurs should be thanking the much-criticized collective bargaining agreement for gifting them a terrific backup center.

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens recently mentioned that the Celtics were constrained by the CBA when it came to bringing Kornet back.
