Boston’s Two-Way Traffic Jam…
The Celtics recently shook hands with undrafted rookie RJ Luis Jr., right after trading Georges Niang to Utah Jazz, making him one hefty addition to their roster. Now, unless the Celtics plan to hire an extra-long bench, they face a jam in the two-way player lane. Norris and Shulga have already secured two-way spots, leaving the poor former Kentucky center Amari Williams itching to hop on. It’s like trying to fit your entire extended family into a two-seater car.
Everyone’s holding their breath to see if the Celtics will plop Williams onto a standard deal, or give a ticket home to one of the current two-way lads, like Norris or Luis. Rumor has it Luiz might be the one getting the boot, despite being the star of last year’s Big East Tournament and a #2 seat stunner. Perhaps competition with Arkansas was his kryptonite. Meanwhile, Norris has left an impression, albeit faint, like trying to capture the attention of a cat with string. In the world of likely two-way musical chairs, Boston’s got decisions to make, folks!
