More on this storyline

Robert Williams has since become a star at the center position, and the Celtics have benefited. His health remains a concern, though he has been said to be 100% here in the offseason, according to a source. Grant Williams has been more reliable in terms of health, and has played nearly 70 games per season since entering the NBA in 2019. -via Heavy.com / September 20, 2022
But Boston can head off any issues going forward by giving Grant Williams an extension now. The consensus around the league had been than Grant Williams would get what Robert Williams got, something in the range of four years and $48 million, and maybe around $55 million with incentives. Grant Williams will likely ask for more, though—four years and $55-60 million or so, according to rival team executives. -via Heavy.com / September 20, 2022
