It’s amazing what a little patience combined with some luck can do to shift perceptions, or at least that seems to be the case after the Boston Celtics waited out the market only to fall into a bargain deal with point guard Dennis Schroder.
But despite some vocal grumbles from the fanbase that have since calmed or even turned to praise, that is not the only thing that the Celtics managed this offseason, freeing up their books for major moves in the future without sacrificing too much competitiveness in the present. That’s no easy task, and has won the praise of a number of notable analysts, including The Athletic’s John Hollinger — and mostly for what came before the German Rondo signing.
“Everyone is focused on the Dennis Schröder contract (a bargain at one year for $5.9 million), and that was indeed a nice windfall for the Celtics,” writes Hollinger.
