Definitely sad to see Avery go.
One of my all time favorite Celtics and I am old as fukk so been watching since the Bird/McHale/Ainge/Chief/DJ days.
I don't think we could have kept him next year, though I would rather max him than IT (neither is really a max player, just given the choice), so I get moving him. Morris seems like a
return for a player like Avery, but with only 1 year on his deal, I guess his value in the trade market is lowered.
I hope next we can sign a guy like J Green from Memphis or W Reed from Miami with the 2.7 mil or so we got leftover as part of this deal.
