NEW @CLNSMedia — Caught up with Grant Williams in Foxboro, who said he wants to remain with the #Celtics next week, seeing Smart go “hurt” and that he believes he can fit in next to Porziņģis.
He admits, however, the new CBA won’t make staying easy: clnsmedia.com/grant-williams… – 3:25 PM

The @celtics & Grant Williams are not ruling out a Boston return, according to sources, though $$ makes it tough.
At least, the sides will work together to get something done — this won’t be an adverserial restricted free agency.

Grant Williams said there is still a chance to return to the #Celtics. “Absolutely. It’s just a decision of whether or not it’s needed.” Said a deal with the new CBA “definitely changes the (cap) numbers” – 1:07 PM

Grant Williams on the Smart trade: “Something that definitely hurts a little bit. Just because you’ve been with someone so long and he’s a phenomenal person. He has as much heart and passion of anyone across this entire organization.” #Celtics. – 12:52 PM

“Brad and those guys, if they decide to keep me & bring me back, of course I’m gonna come back and be excited and happy and ready to play for the Celtics,” Williams said. “If something else happens, then I’ll have to transition, but for me, my outlook has always been that I want to make sure wherever I am, to impact success and winning and make sure I’m here for my players around me and focus on the team first.” -via CLNSMedia.com / June 27, 2023
Grant Williams. “(I would) absolutely (return), cap-wise, with the new CBA, I think all these teams as you see are trying to get the trades in and the contracts done prior to the CBA truly being enacted, so you’re gonna see a lot of all-in pushes. If the Celtics decide to do it, that’s how it’ll work out. If not, it helps financially a little bit, but it definitely changes the numbers.” -via CLNSMedia.com / June 27, 2023
Gary Washburn: Grant Williams on the Smart trade: “Something that definitely hurts a little bit. Just because you’ve been with someone so long and he’s a phenomenal person. He has as much heart and passion of anyone across this entire organization. We trust Brad and we have to not really hold too much against (the trade) because we know Marcus is going to be great wherever he goes. He’s in a great situation and a talented team and they need him. (Boston) is going to have to step up in his absence.” #Celtics -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / June 27, 2023
