The NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) was designed with punishing high-spending ball clubs like the Boston Celtics in mind, the idea being to make it fairer for the other teams to acquire top-shelf talent for their rosters. As a result, to fill out the remaining roster spots, Boston needs to find players willing to take a pay cut for a chance to compete for a championship.
With the pool of free agents who are worth signing for their potential impact on the court getting more shallow by the hour, the Celtics will need to look at players like Hamidou Diallo, Kelly Oubre, Christian Wood, Terence Ross, JaMychael Green, T.J. Warren, and others in the hopes of finding the right role player able to help them win some games on the cheap.
To talk over how that might go down in practice, the hosts of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast recently convened to discuss Boston’s free agency options.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say for yourself.
