Heat, Celtics want reunion with Kelly Olynyk
Both the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are interested inbringing back Utah Jazz big man Kelly Olynyk to their squads,according to Steve Bulpett of HeavySports.
"A source close to the HeattellsHeavySportsthe club is interested in a reunion with Kelly Olynyk —and that Miami isn’t his only suitor. TheCeltics are alsosaid to be looking at the possibility of re-acquiring the 6-11floor-spacing big man, who spent his first four NBA seasons inBoston," Bulpett said.
While both teams are interested, Bulpett added that it's notlikely either team will come away with Olynyk.
"According to a league executive with knowledge of thesituation, the Celts are still trying to learn what it would taketo get Olynyk from the Jazz, but an Eastern Conference source whoseclub has been working the market for a center/power forward doesn’tbelieve the Heat or Celtics will be able to meet what Utah wantsfor Olynyk, averaging 11.9 points on 49.5 percent shooting (40.6pct. on 3-pointers)."
The source also explained to Bulpett why both teams want toreunite with Olynyk or another backup big like him.
“Boston and Miami want to get another big player that’s betterthan what they have — not necessarily better than (Celtics Rob)Williams and (Al) Horford and Grant and (Heat center Bam) Adebayo,but better than all of the rest of the guys after them.”
