At work, so can't post tweets but Brad Wanamaker is postponing any negotiations with his Euroleague team to try to score a NBA deal with the Pels or Celtics.

A little background.

He is a 6'4", 210lb 27yr old wing. Played 4yrs at Pitt under Jamie Dixon. Went undrafted in 2011. Has played in various leagues since including a stint with the Austin Toros (now Spurs) in 2012. Has been in Euroleague the last two years where he last year he average 16.7 pts, 3.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists in 33.3MPG.

He shot 38% from 3, 48% from the field and 86% at the stripe.

I doubt he'd get a guaranteed deal but maybe SL and camp invite at this stage.

The Celtics are trying to add Hayward and Paul George.

quote:
The Boston Celtics are pursuing an aggressive summer plan of sequencing the signing of free agent Gordon Hayward and relinquishing the assets needed to complete a trade for Paul George, league sources told The Vertical.

For salary-cap purposes, Boston wants a Hayward commitment before it can finalize a trade for George and secure the most dynamic free-agent coup in franchise history, league sources said.

For Boston, here’s the hitch: While Indiana believes Boston can offer the best possible package, the Pacers may be unwilling to wait until the start of July free agency on Boston’s timetable and could turn toward making a deal elsewhere for George, league sources told The Vertical.

Further down in the article going after Blake Griffin is Plan B if they can't get Hayward. With any luck the Jazz and Clippers will both fall far enough for the Pels to jump over them.
