The Boston Celtics reportedly agreed to terms with three free agents Wednesday, including two who played for them this past season in Jonas Jerebko and Jae Crowder.
Along with those acquisitions were numerous players the Celtics engaged in talks with but were unable to land.
Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald reported late Wednesday night, citing “sources from other teams and within the player rep community,” that the Boston had broken off its pursuit of forward Tobias Harris and guard Corey Brewer.
The Celtics did have negotiations with both free agents, per Bulpett’s sources, but “as of late (Wednesday) night, those pursuits have ended.”
Boston reportedly pulled out of the race for Harris after learning the Orlando Magic were willing to match any offer for the restricted free agent and lost interest in Brewer after agreeing to bring back Crowder.
In addition to Crowder and Jerebko, the Celtics also reportedly agreed to terms with former Toronto Raptors forward Amir Johnson on a two-year, $24 million contract.
