Celtics announce they will be holding a press conference

Celtics holding press conference Friday for "major team announcement." Remember, teams can't mention player by name until officially signed.

Ah.  Horford signing then.  TP, that clears up the coyness of the wording.

Again, that means that one of Zeller or Sully must be renounced or traded by the signing, since we need the cap space.  So there will be some piece of news regarding them by noon.  So it might not be JUST Horford.

My guess is it would be the lesser player, meaning Zeller.

I concur. I also can see Sullinger getting resigned for a 1+1 the more that he lingers during FA.

Maybe they're announcing Horfords Exit Strategy.

Wyc and Danny: "We're here to announce that the Boston Celtics, in order to grow as a franchise, will be signing with the Golden State Warriors."

I use it often even though this is the first time I've ever seen it. TP to original poster.

Ha!!!

[BlastFromThePast]

So has the presser been held yet?  What was the subject matter?  Don't hold us in suspense.  Spit it out already! 

[BringToughnessBack]

What if Horford pulled a Deandre Jordan and has decided not to honor his verbal agreement to come to the Celtics? Unlikely but could you imagine if that happened.... Probably the signing...

This is brilliant.

I don't think a trade would be secret. Nothing has been kept secret up to now. Too many people involved. It will be the Horford press conference.

[Tr1boy]

Which major rfa or ufa left could the celts have signed?

Why couldnt a trade be announced at this sec ?

So im guessing it is a major rfa/ufa left

Any guesses?

[fairweatherfan]

Pierce is retiring tomorrow.

Ooh, this is possible.  Still much more likely it's just Horford but a 1 day retirement contract would be a nice surprise.

With Zeller and Sully's QOs and Amir and Zerebko's options picked up, I believe next year's salary number stands at about $59 million.  So, no one needs to be let go to sign Horford.  We would have had to release all of them and make a couple of minor salary dumps to get a second max player.
