Kelly Olynyk feels he’s a good fit in Miami, has fond memories from Boston
KAMLOOPS — It’s been an offseason of change for Kelly Olynyk.
First, learning the Boston Celtics, the team with which he spent his first four NBA seasons, were going to move on without him. Then testing the free-agent market before eventually landing a sweet deal with the Miami Heat.
But now with the a four-year, $50-million contract signed, Olynyk can focus on his basketball camp this week in Kamloops and look forward to the beaches of Miami.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for me,” said Olynyk. “They had a great end of the year, the last half of the year. Top record in the NBA. They signed pretty much everybody back and they’ve got a core that’s really good. Hassan [Whiteside] is a huge body down there, can play the five [position] and guard guys. They’ve got great guards who are dynamic in scoring.”
