The Celtics have been relatively quiet on Thursday, day one of the 2010 NBA free agency period. But via the Globe's Gary Washburn comes this bit of news: Boston has "reached out" to unrestricted free agent center Brad Miller, according to sources, and Miller's interest is "mutual."

"The Celtics are a great franchise," Miller's agent, Mark Bartelstein said. "It certainly a team when they are interested, you're crazy not to listen. Danny and Doc do a great job. Brad loves the way the Celtics play. That's why they get into it all the time. They're very competitive; he's very competitive. We'll certainly talk to them and see what happens. It's a real interesting fit. We'll talk to Danny and see what happens here."
