Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and guard Will Bynum are expected to meet on Saturday, according to two NBA sources, and the team is likely to waive Bynum, who was acquired Friday from the Detroit Pistons.
Bynum, 31, is in Boston and will take his physical before he and his representatives meet with Ainge. NBA sources said the Celtics are content with their point guard lineup of Rajon Rondo, Marcus Smart, and Phil Pressey, leaving Bynum out of the equation.
Boston traded Joel Anthony’s expiring $3.8 million deal for Bynum’s $2.9 million deal. The $900,000 difference pushes the Celtics approximately $2.2 million below the luxury tax line.
