Celtics Sign Forward Josh Minott in Free Agency
The Boston Celtics have signed 22-year-old forward Josh Minott to a two-year, $5 million deal, marking their second free agency move after also acquiring center Luka Garza. Minott, a former Minnesota Timberwolves player, appeared in 46 games last season, averaging 2.6 points and 1.0 rebounds per game with efficient shooting percentages. This signing fills out Boston's roster to 15 players but pushes the team about $20 million above the luxury tax line, prompting expectations of further roster changes to reduce salary and increase future flexibility. Celtics management appears focused on acquiring low-cost, developmental players like Minott and Garza, hoping they develop into valuable contributors amid significant roster transitions, especially with star Jayson Tatum sidelined for the season. The team is reportedly considering trades involving higher-salary veterans to get below the luxury tax threshold and reset roster-building restrictions. Minott's addition adds depth to the wing position alongside other young players, but the Celtics' center depth and overall competitiveness remain concerns as they plan for a transitional season.
