The Boston Celtics cutting JD Davison gave them more than just cap relief
The Boston Celtics cutting point guard JD Davison gave them more than just cap relief. The Celtics elected to move on from last season's G League Most Valuable Player earlier this week, with the most obvious reasoning behind the move from the outside being getting the team's roster under the second apron, which will save the team some money.
But it also got the Celtics free of all the restrictive team building impacts that status puts on the team's front office, making it easier to begin reshaping the roster in earnest for the return of injured star forward Jayson Tatum next season. What specific things does this newfound status bring to Boston in terms of team building?
The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!
