According to previous reports, the Celtics have less than 15 players on contract in the team after the trade, and need to make the list by February 25, otherwise it will violate the rules of the league. Of course, now that the free market has closed, there are no big stars, and the Green Army can only pick up some small fish and shrimp. The latest news, the Celtics signed 2 players overnight. Keller Martin is the Pacers' outcast, averaging 6.3 rebounds and 2 assists in 16 minutes per game this season, which is not efficient, in addition, the 26-year-old is not without an advantage in physical fitness, as a striker height of only 1.96 meters, which is also the reason for being cut by the Pacers, but there is better than nothing, at least it can play a rotation role. The other is Malik Fitz, who has averaged 0.9 points and 14 rebounds in only five minutes of playing time this season, and is purely a chin water machine player, there is no way, the Celtics can only overflow to avoid fines.
The second news comes from the Knicks, All-Star guard Walker did not integrate into the team after joining, averaging only 11.6 points, 3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game this season, and more importantly, he has few opportunities under Thibodeau, which is compared with the hornets when he judged two people, and he averaged 25 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game in 2018-19 and fell a lot compared with the Celtics. Since the two sides are not happy, let's separate. According to Walker's agent, Walker and the Knicks have reached an agreement not to play the rest of the regular season this season, meaning he will definitely be traded in the offseason. The Knicks' record this season is so poor that they can't even make it into the top ten in the East. The relationship with management is also not good, and the general manager wants to throw the pot to Thibodeau, who will reportedly part ways with the Knicks in the middle of next season. For Walker, instead of doing nothing in the Knicks, it's better to leave early and go to a team that suits him better.
The third news about the Nets, Nash is now the time to hire people, he spared no effort to get dragic's signing rights, the main purpose is to prepare for Irving's bench. Due to New York's epidemic regulations, people who have not been vaccinated cannot enter the home court, and Irving cannot enter the home game at this time. Obviously, Dragic, who has playoff experience and possession ability, is a good fit. Happily, according to media reports, New York is likely to abolish the mandatory vaccine regulations, and if this is the case, Irving will be able to play the home game in a justified way, which is excellent news for the Nets. It is worth mentioning that Irving is very much looking forward to playing at home, and playing part-time basketball has a great impact on the stability of the state. Fans have said that Irving is about to become a winner, the vaccine is not played, the ball is going to be played. Still, the Nets' playoff pressure is still high.
