The Celtics were among the many teams interested in the big man, who averaged 15.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game for the Pistons last season, but reportedly did not reached out to him when free agency began at midnight Wednesday.
The Celtics could have used his size and scoring in the paint, but max money is a lot for a center who just averaged a double double for the first time in his five-year NBA career.
