July 2 (UPI) -- Center Enes Kanter said the Portland Trail Blazers gave him six minutes to decide if he wanted to stay with the team or sign elsewhere in free agency.
Kanter, 27, agreed to sign a two-year, $10 million pact with the Boston Celtics on Monday. He averaged 13.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in 23 games last season for the Blazers. Kanter joined the team in February, after being waived by the New York Knicks.
