The Celtics cut Justin Champagnie to avoid paying him a partial guarantee. That leaves them with 13 roster spots when they will ultimately need 14 filled to start the season. So which available free agent might they pursue to fill that gap? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm sift through the remaining free agents to discuss some possibilities and then get into Danilo Gallinari’s declration that he’s circling Celtics games on the calendar for next season.

This podcast is the best, keep it up JK! 🍀
KU is an egotistic, scandalous dysfunctional player option, please stay away!

Does anyone know why Kelly Oubre is still out there? If he hasn't been signed at this point there's no way he's making more than 2M or so, right? I'd love to get him.
Kelly Oubre Jr they should sign him.
If nothing better is available, I wouldn't mind getting someone like Blake Griffin, a vet who doesn't play much but is a great presence in the locker room.
Blake Griffin fills that role pretty well, just saying.
Boban signed with a team from Montenegro, KK Buducnost. Willy Hernangomez signed with Barcelona and Juancho with Panathinaikos. Even Kemba has signed overseas.

Kelly Oubre!
If Wood is a no-go in Boston then I'm cool with just retaining Blake Griffin and signing Danny Green. Blake could help body up Giannis & Embiid in the halfcourt and is cool with whatever role the coach gives him.
Danny is just a winner wherever he goes w/3 rings on 3 different teams. He's a vet 3&D wing that could help win a game in the playoffs. He suffered an acl injury back in May 2022 but by the time the season starts Danny would be a year and a half removed from surgery.
My estimation is Wood & Oubre both sign with Miami after Dame trade
Gallo may come into Boston in that first meeting against the Celtics but once the fans hit him with a standing ovation, his anger should die down. A large portion of C's fans were hoping to see him make a comeback last season.
Galinari are you serious??? You didn't think much of the Celtics when you went an jeopardized your career playing international basketball, paid him and let him rehab on their dime… and now you want payback… GTFOH… C's did nothing wrong and he could have cost them a chance of going further into the season.
Danilo got hurt playing for Italia before Eurobasket. Porzingas is playing for latvia at the World Cup. Don't rag on Gallo , it's bad karma……
Love the t-shirt. #guru
