[Who]

Williams and Shugla declined

Queta and Banton picked up. No idea why they are keeping Banton.

Because he's non-guaranteed.

Gotcha.

So is Amari Williams a free agent now?

Potentially a restricted free agent, if a qualifying offer is extended.  Both are also eligible to return as 2-way contracts.

I did not know you could still make a qualifying offer if you decline your team option. Good to know, thank you.

I don't like that rule for the players. Good for teams. I feel the players should be unrestricted FAs if teams don't pickup their options.

JUST IN: Boston Celtics center Amari Williams has agreed to a deal to return to the Celtics, league sources told @hoopshype. Williams appeared in 22 games for Boston last season. He?s represented by agent George S. Langberg of @GSLSportsGroup.

Amari is back on a 2-way deal.

1/3 spots filled for now with Dillon Mitchell inevitably filling another.

Glad he?s back and Harper too. Now let?s get to the bottom of whatever is going to happen with Jaylen.

Please let Shulga walk.

[Roy H.]

Please let Shulga walk.

He was waived.

Please let Shulga walk.

He was waived.

I thought his option was declined, no?  Slightly different between being a free agent and being claimable on the waiver wire first.
