According to the Boston Globe, the Celtics are working on a two-way deal with second-round pick Jabari Bird. The 56th overall pick in the draft played four years at California and put up 10.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in Las Vegas Summer League.

I was surprised that Bird was not signed to the first of these two way deals. He clearly was better during the summer season than the other second round pick (can't remember his name) who already has a two way deal.

Either way, both guys will likely be in Portland (the G League) for most of the season like most all of the second round picks by good team seem to land right after training camp ends.

Kadeem Allen is the other guy. Allen and Bird will likely shuttle down to the Boston frequently, just to practice, train, work out, etc. with the Celtics. They can max out their contract by doing that for 45 days during the season.
