While it goes without saying that there needs to be a ball club willing to offer a player money in order to get a deal done, in the case of Boston Celtics’ restricted free agent Grant Williams, a return to the team that drafted him may hinge on whether there is a market for the Tennessee alum in the wake of some serious spending on forwards in free agency.
“If the market for Williams dries up, his return to Boston would become increasingly likely,” reports the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, “especially after president of basketball operations Brad Stevens on Thursday stressed that ownership had given him the ‘green light’ to keep building a championship-level roster, regardless of luxury tax implications.”
