The Boston Celtics have targeted center Brad Miller to sign in free agency, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Miller and guard Ray Allen are expected to be the Celtics’ two top priorities in summer free agency following the retirement of Rasheed Wallace and a knee injury to Kendrick Perkins The Celtics have their mid-level exception available to sign Miller, 34, who has the versatility to play the power forward and center spots for them. Several contenders are expected to pursue him, but sources say that the chance to play for the defending Eastern Conference champions has significant appeal to Miller. The departure of Wallace clears $13 million off Boston’s books over the next two seasons and leaves Boston with a gaping hole on its backline. Perkins suffered a torn MCL and PCL in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and faces a lengthy rehabilitation process. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Am9.PqYgmOD45gfmnAkOpkS8vLYF?slug=aw-bradmiller062710
If the Bulls have his Bird Rights, they can go over the MLE to re-sign him, and they could use a backup C themselves. That's if they signed LeBron and Bosh, as rumored.
