Celtics Sign Xavier Tillman to 2 Year Contract and Run It Back

Celtics Sign Xavier Tillman to 2 Year Contract and Run It Back

the garden report is powered by prize piic the exclusive daily fantasy partner of the clns media Network hey B Manning here welcome to a news edition of the gar report some unexpected news today not a total stunning development but one I didn’t expect certainly Xavier Tillman sticking with the Celtics on a two-year deal becom the 14th roster player on the team and so just one spot left here and giving the Celtics their full compliment of centers from a year ago this is a two-year deal corn Adam himl back fully guaranteed at the league minimum so no pay bump required either for Tillman uh who they got at the trade deadline for a pair of seconds and Lamar Stevens from Memphis last year didn’t play a ton dealt with a knee injury had that famous shot in the finals in the corner in game three and now he’ll get the chance to help fill in for Christa porzingis alongside Luke cornette who stayed on a one-year deal still no terms on his yet though I assume it’s a veteran minimum and they’ll be the primary backups to Al Horford with Christ porzingis down for month or two here uh makes you feel great about their ability to sustain through that stretch uh you had some uncertainty with just cornet and kada and ultimately you get a guy who can switch and play against the more spread out perimeter teams in Tillman and maybe a guy who could if Al Horford decides to retire after next season filled that role at the four Boston played him at the four often the three-point shooting wasn’t great looked better in practice looked better in pregame situations but the results didn’t show and a small amount of attempts I remember he made a pretty pointed quote to me that he’s not shooting a lot of Threes so he’s not worried about that low percentage of course that played out in the playoffs when he hit that Lan attempt in game three from the corner that helped slam the door in Dallas elad in that game so you hope he can develop that you hope he can find some other ways to produce on offense the offensive rebounding obviously something you like to see a little bit more from him but he brings an elite skill set on the defensive end he was one of the better statistical Defenders across the league especially in his Memphis minutes and to get that at the minimum and two years guaranteed of that is a massive win for Boston here they just continue to score enormous victories here and obvious the chemistry and The Vibes and the interchangeability of this room the way Joe Missoula made everybody top to bottom on this roster feel involved plays a part in that he could have went look for minutes elsewhere guaranteed minutes maybe even a little bit more money cornette could have done the same O’Shea brassette reportedly will do that that uh but with some interest in staying in Boston alsoo which I’ve heard as well I’d still suspect that that’s not going to happen but I was surprised here too and what did it come down to Boston’s willingness to toss Tillman a second year and Tillman’s willingness to take that veteran minimum if brassette does the same for one year probably he could be back here as well I know the Celtics according to himo back have desire to keep that roster spot open save it for opportunities that might come up there in the year or just take the tax savings there which is certainly valid given the cost of this roster but I’m sure given his championship efforts what he did and sacrificed for this team last year they’ll wave that in favor of bringing brette back if he decides that’s what he wants to do here so it’s possible that this entire team minus Fe Muk who is a free agent as well but maybe he’s a backup option for brassette could run it back this year you now have 13 members of that team back effectively here uh Baylor shyan will fill one of those spots so that brings you to 14 and you will probably see JD Davidson Anton Watson and perhaps Drew Peterson again on those three ways but none of that’s guaranteed yet Peterson’s a restricted free agent and and Davidson is an unrestricted free agency right now so that could change but in terms of the roster guys playing here it’s all back your full compliment of centers your full array of stars and I just did the math in my head on this they have eight players signed through 2026 now when you consider Tillman and that could become nine if they extend Sam Hower who’s eligible for an extension next week so pretty amazing this is rare I can’t imagine this has happened very often in NBA history that you bring this many guys back from a championship team and it has the potential to be a 2009 style a Celtic start remember how good that team did coming off the title and this team has more of that quarterback more of the depth back when you look at what they’re coming into this year with and kg’s injury obviously spoiled that Health’s going to be key here poringa starting the year injured but Xavier Tillman is back to help the Celtics sustain through that month or two he’s going to miss and we are brought to you by prize piix go to prize.com CNS right now I use the code clns and you’ll get a 100% deposit match up to $100 it’s WNBA season so what’s
