Celtics also elect to release to free up a little cap (Will accept penalty):

New Celtics management made a tough decision in moving K. Johnson but believe it is the right one as it frees up some positional variability and gives the team a bigger inside presence with 2 real nice upside players. Over the coming days for sure the Cs new brass will figure out the core players and essential role players and believe this move helps take a step in that direction. Releasing Rondo and Simonovic were unfortunately had to be released.
Good luck to the Pelicans with Keldon as he is another budding player in the NBA
