The Boston Celtics have interest in signing J.R. Smith, who remains in a contract stalemate with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Smith is seeking $15 million per season from the Cavaliers while they are only offering $10 million or $11 million annually.

The Celtics would have to clear substantial cap space to sign Smith to a competitive deal.

Boston has Avery Bradley as their starting shooting guard.

The report also indicates there are several other teams with interest in Smith.
