The Boston Celtics are in the midst of an offseason that should have them looking completely different come the tip-off to the 2021-22 campaign.
Kicking off the summer with the front office shakeup that saw Danny Ainge stepping down from his duties with the franchise and Brad Stevens moving on up the totem pole to replace him as President of Basketball Operations, the Cs have since gone on to trade away their starting point guard, Kemba Walker, and bring on Ime Udoka to serve as their next head coach.
Now, with just about three months to go till next year’s campaign roles around, many are curious to know what other changes will transpire in Beantown and, perhaps more specifically, which players will wind up staying and which will wind up leaving.
Perhaps the most recent name to make their way onto the likely departures list is soon to be third-year point guard, Tremont Waters, who, according to NBC Sports Boston, is ‘looking for more of an opportunity’ elsewhere.
This past season, the youngster managed to log action in 26 outings, seeing averages of 3.8 points and 2.4 assists on nearly 40 percent shooting from deep.
