The NBA begins October 17, but is also the deadline for contract extensions before next summer. There are still some players in the league who are expecting renewal offers in the coming days. One of them is Grant Williams, who after acting in the best year of his career intends to extend his contract newbie with the Boston Celtics. His current contract expires at the end of this season with the option of being a limited free agent through the qualifying offer. The negotiations between the player and the franchise have been on the table for some time, but the latest rumors leave lights and shadows.
Today Jake Fischer comments lightly Yahoo Sports that its renewal is unlikely in the remainder of the term. The main argument would be his possible involvement in a short-term relocation, which his current salary would be of great help. This could be related to the arrival of Jae Crowder which Fischer himself foresees as much as possible.
Chris Forsberg, on the other hand in shape on NBC that the Williams extension is more than likely. “I have heard that both sides are motivated to reach an agreement.” The reporter also raises the possibility of Boston paying the $ 6.2 million of its qualifying offer next summer to try to save on the small forward wager. Forsberg estimates that Williams’ market price is marked by contracts like Kleber’s $ 33 million for three years in Dallas or Larry Nance Jr.’s $ 21.6 million to the Pelicans.
