The Celtics have a recent history of extensions with their first-round picks starting with that of four years for Robert Williams (worth $ 48 million, plus $ 6 million in incentives).
Grant Williams hopes to be next, writes The Athletic’s Jared Weiss. Weiss reports that Boston has already started extension talks with Williams, who showed his worth during the team’s run to the NBA Finals. He provides a strong defensive presence off the bench and shot 39.3% three-pointers during this year’s playoffs.
Williams talks about wanting to play his entire career for the Celtics and help the organization add more banners to the tD Garden girders. Weiss notes that the negotiations could be complicated in light of the recent deals for similar players, but Williams expressed confidence that management will be fair to him.
