They had their sights set on Minnesota Timberwolves’ power forward Kevin Love but the Timberwolves didn’t like what the Celtics had to offer. The Celtics wound up using those picks on former Oklahoma State Cowboys’ point guard Marcus Smart and former Kentucky Wildcats swingman James Young. They also re-signed their most important free agent, inking guard Avery Bradley to a four-year, $32 million deal. There has been a lot of speculation the Celtics could trade point guard Rajon Rondo but that hasn’t happened.
Instead, the Celtics may be waiting to see if Rondo is healthy. They’ll get their chance to see Rondo play for the first time in 2014 when they host the Philadelphia 76ers in their very first preseason game on October 6 at the T.D. Garden.
The Celtics released their entire preseason schedule via a press release on Tuesday.
