Jonas Jerebko to Boston on a two-year, $10 million deal, I'm told.

Deals w/Amir Johnson and Jerebko have non-guaranteed 2nd years. Full story on Celtics' FA pursuits just posted.

CLARITY:

Jerebko's contract is 2 years, $10M TOTAL. Like $5m/year.

Much better.

Jerebko at 5M per season is a good signing. Johnson at 12 is confusing to me at this point. Is he really 5M better than Bass when he is not a center?

I hear year 2 is non guarenteed, trade bait?

Like Crowder, I see Jerebko as part of the spirit that propelled the Celtics to unexpected heights last season.  For that reason in particular, I'm glad he'll be back to help that kind of energy spread (hopefully) throughout the team.  The fact that he can spread the floor, take it to the hoop, take big shots, and play stiff defense will help to infuse the team with the kind of balance I'm hoping for.
