2022 NBA free agency: Tracking Day 2 rumors, contracts and more originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Kevin Durant stole the show on Day 1 of NBA free agency by reportedly requesting a trade out of Brooklyn. As the NBA world anxiously waits to see where the 12-time All-Star lands, Boston Celtics fans are simply waiting for their team to make a move.
The C's were quiet on Day 1, though rumors have swirled about potential interest in forward Danilo Gallinari and center Thomas Bryant. Those two free agents could find new homes as soon as Friday.
