Boston will renounce the rights to guard Terry Rozier - to open up a max slot for Kemba Walker - and he’ll become an unrestricted free agent, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

We’ll see if that’s true, since they literally extended him a QO mere hours ago.

Just kidding Terry you are free to go. Lol Seriously that is an odd quick turn of events if true.

Yeah.  They might rescind the QO quickly, but there’s no need to renounce his Bird rights until they’re ready to actually sign Kemba, which can’t happen for a week. It’s actually better for Rozier if they don’t, because Charlotte can’t get involved unless through a sign-and-grade.

There's nothing unusual in any of this. It is not unheard of to extend the QO even if you intend to rescind pretty much right away. They don't need to give up their rights to Rozier until they are need the space, and you never know what kind of crazy things might happen, so they will keep that hold until they need to give it up, but it's not strange or unusual.

Seriously, tho, with all of Kemba, Jaylen, Jayson, Gordon, and Smart either worthy of starter minutes or thinking they are, how do we avoid the problems we had last year? Yes Terry and Kyrie were immature, but they really will need to set a pecking order people will tolerate. Hope they will do better now that they’ve had some time to think on it and will be  able to set a new tone next season.

This is possibly a big thing for this still young team. Kemba is not as good as Kyrie, but he's close, and if he is better in the locker room it could have a major impact.

Kemba is not bringing us to the championship.  Our funds would have been better spent on a player who can bring our level to championship caliber. DA has to prioritize big men more or the championship drought will continue until he is gone.

Which championship caliber player was signing here?

There in lies the problem.  We give away a max contract to a point guard and we can’t entice the real impact players to come here.

By himself, I agree, Kemba likely does not lead the Celts to a championship. In truth, however, even Lebron doesn't do it by himself. The Celts will need to get better, either by their young guys taking big steps forward, or by acquiring talent through the draft or by trade. Make no mistake, however, Kemba helps. Top players are looking for places to team up with other players. If Kemba and the Celts have a good season, they stand a better chance of being attractive to other players in the future.

Again: assuming Kemba wasn't coming here, what "championship caliber player" was signing here?

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and in this case there wasn't even one in the bush
