The Boston Celtics have already began making changes to their roster early in the offseason.
Kemba Walker was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a reunion with Al Horford and young big man Moses Brown.
But, the Celtics aren’t done yet.
Their biggest free agent of the summer is Evan Fournier, who the team acquired at the trade deadline this season.

John Hollinger of The Athletic listed Fournier as one of the top 20 free agents in the NBA according to his BORD$ formula (Big Ol’ Rating Dollars) which calculates the value of the player based on how many minutes they play and the quality of those minutes.
Following the trade of Walker, the Celtics brass reportedly feel better about their chances of resigning Fournier, according to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe.
Fournier made $17M last season, who Hollinger had ranked No. 16 on his board.
In 42 games this season, Fournier averaged 17.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. In 16 games with the Celtics, the Frenchman averaged 13.0, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists on 46.3% from downtown.
