The Boston Celtics officially announced Tuesday the signings of free agent center Mitchell Robinson and guard Mike Conley Jr. And on Monday, they officially announced the Jaylen Brown trade.
Conley reportedly signed a one-year deal, while Robinson reportedly signed a three-year contract worth $47.4 million. The C’s traded Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks.
George will wear No. 13 with the Celtics. He also wore No. 13 with the Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. George used No. 8 with the Sixers. Ron Harper Jr. wore No. 13 for the C’s last season.
Robinson is going to wear No. 4 with the Celtics. He wore No. 23 with the New York Knicks over the last seven seasons, but in Boston that number is retired for Frank Ramsey.
Previous players to wear No. 4 for the Celtics include Isaiah Thomas, Anfernee Simons, Jrue Holiday, Nate Robinson and Chauncey Billups. It was most recently used by Nikola Vucevic.
Conley is entering his 20th NBA season, and he will wear No. 44 for the C’s.
He has only worn No. 10 and No. 11 in his career so far, but No. 10 in Boston is retired for Jo Jo White and No. 11 is currently worn by Payton Pritchard.
Former players who have worn No. 44 for the Celtics include Robert Williams III, Brian Scalabrine, Danny Ainge, Pete Maravich, Dave Bing and Paul Westphal.
