The Boston Celtics took care of some important housekeeping on Monday, exercising their team options on three important players from last year's team.

According to Celtics reporter Adam Himmelsbach, the Celtics exercised the team options of Neemias Queta, Jordan Walsh and Dalano Banton on Monday.

While Banton remains on a non-guaranteed deal, Queta and Walsh were both breakout stars for Boston last year, helping the team go 56-26 with their career years.

According to a league source, the Celtics are exercising the team options of Neemias Queta, Jordan Walsh and Dalano Banton. Banton remains on a non-guaranteed deal.
Per source, the Celtics are declining options of Amari Williams & Max Shulga, but they could still have opps w/Cs.

Queta, 26, emerged as the team's starting center following the offseason departures of Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Luke Kornet, averaging 10.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.

Meanwhile, Walsh stepped up in his third NBA season, flashing impressive defense and rebounding alongside good shooting splits.

Walsh is only 22, so he appears to have a bright future ahead of him.

Himmelsbach also reported that the Celtics are declining the options of Amari Williams and Max Shulga. However, they could still have opportunities with the team moving forward.
