Now, they’re moving onto retention.
They’d probably like to bring back restricted free agent Jae Crowder. First, Jonas Jerebko.
Sam Amick of USA Today:
Jonas Jerebko to Boston on a two-year, $10 million deal, I'm told.

Jerebko played well for the Celtics after they acquired him in a midseason trade with the Pistons. He’s an energy forward with 3-point range, and Brad Stevens used him well. That’s a big reason Jerebko is getting this healthy payday.
As Boston looks to make splashier moves going forward, Stevens should be a major selling point.
For now, the Celtics should get the 28-year-old Jerebko through his prime on a reasonable deal. Then, they can take it from there.
