Blakely: Celtics could be ‘more attractive' next free agency

Share

Forgot this season, the Celtics are already looking towards the summer of...2016? 

The Celtics were expected to make a big splash in the free agency pool this offseason, but it didn't quite happen as all the big-name free agents landed elsewhere. But next offseason, the Celtics will again have the cap space to make a move. Although they didn't land a big-name free agent, the Celtics have improved their team from last year's surprise playoff appearance, which bodes well for next year.

"I say that because hopefully if they have the kind of offseason that they anticipate, they’re going to be a better team and if they’re a better team, we’ve found out players are attracted to better teams," Sherrod Blakely said. "The Celtics have some pieces that are X factors. If they can have the kind of season the Celtics are looking forward to them to having, the Celtics will could be a much more attractive free agency destination."
