The Celtics have already made several transactions before the start of the Free Agency (DI. 0 o'clock German time). Kemba Walker was bathed for Al Horford to the OKC Thunder, which came under the week Josh Richardson for Moses Brown from Dallas per Trade. According to Boston Globe, Richardson should also be a insurance for a possible Fournier outlet.

The Frenchman, who was only fetched in March for two two-round picks from Orlando, will probably be too expensive to Celtics. Fournier has some prospects and could demand an annual salary of around 19 million dollars. Boston would probably have to pay luxury tax, an extension of the Fournier contract would be so more expensive.

According to the report, Celtics will rather use the taxpayer Midlevel Exception of $ 5.9 million as they would handle such a hard cap. For Fournier, this sum would not be enough, but there seems to be other interesting options.
