Perhaps Terry Rozier has a future in Boston, after all.
The Celtics have had discussions with the 25-year-old guard about possibly signing a new deal, Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders reported Sunday. Kyler’s report also included a note about Boston having recently engaged with the Houston Rockets on trade talks involving star big man Clint Capela.
Rozier will be a restricted free agent this offseason.
Take a look at Kyler’s tweet:
The Celtics from what I have heard engaged pretty seriously on Clint Capella… have had some level of talks with Terry Rozier on a new deal. Everything is very fluid at this stage in the draft/trade process. It's finding out what you can do. https://t.co/7kHmEWP6X1

Last month, Rozier indicated he would not be interested in returning to Boston if it returned the same roster it had last season. Whether Rozier’s desire to re-sign is tied to Kyrie Irving’s looming free agency decision is anyone’s guess.
The Louisville product averaged 9.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game last season.
