I see where Klay Thompson was waived by Dallas and almost immediately signed with Miami.
I hate it, but Miami could be pretty good after adding Giannis and Portis, plus now Thompson, though they lost a key starter.

Did the Celts have any interest in Thompson ?
Apparently Thompson was set on Miami though.

The Celtics' main goal this season appears to be remaining under the luxury tax. Therefore they can't sign another guy, even for the veteran minimum, this offseason without doing some larger roster configuration.

They also have a glut of young wings that they want to get an increased look at (to see who is worth keeping).

Don't think Klay made much sense for the Celtics.

I can't believe people still think we will make moves.  We are under the cap  and I agree with Jiri Welsch we are not going to sign anyone and go back over it.

  I really wish Vuc worked out better.  The crowd wanted to love him so bad.  Seemed like he was willing, just not able, to be a part of something bigger.

He was a poor fit for our defensive scheme.  It was a bad pickup.

Theoretically though, could we trade players/picks this season to tweak the roster and still stay under the cap?

So while we won't just sign anyone outright, we can still have optionality this season with a trade?

Optionality

Definition: It means having the flexibility to choose a path or change direction later instead of committing right now.

Origin: The word comes from finance, where an "option" gives a buyer the right, but not the duty, to buy or sell an asset at a set price.

I never heard management mention the word until Bill Chisholm walked the door.
