If he was disappointing in the second game of the Finals once morest the Warriors, Grant Williams yet had the best season of his career and in particular two big matches once morest the Bucks, in the conference semi-finals.
Throughout the regular season and the playoffs, he established himself as one of the main replacements for Ime Udoka. While he will approach the last year of his rookie contract in October, the interior will be able to sign a nice contract in the summer of 2023.
Unless he extends to Boston in the coming weeks since he has been able to since July 1. But for the moment, nothing has been started between the two camps, confesses the player.
“It’s not going to happen for a while”, he explains to MassLive. “When Brad Stevens is ready, we can start. I think both parties understood that we wanted things to be done well and to go well for several years. »
Because obviously, Williams has no intention of looking elsewhere. “I love Boston. I not only like the guys here, but also the city. »
As he would like to stay at the Celtics, might he be bothered by the fact that no agreement would be reached by the end of October, the deadline to sign this extension?
“No pressure for me, no”, secures the 2022 finalist. “Basically, basketball will remain the same. You have to believe in the fact that both sides are working in the right direction, for it to be optimal. But there is no pressure. I still have a year of contract to play, to do what I love. Do not put too much pressure or stress on the negotiations. »
