The Boston Celtics were one of three teams that made concrete offers to the Portland Trail Blazers for Rudy Fernandez this offseason—a player about half the league expressed interest.

While it now appears that Fernandez is headed for Europe, the disgruntled guard was seen by many as a good fit for the Celtics, who are shallow on the wings. Apparently the Knicks and Bulls liked him as well, but all three had their offers rejected by the Trail Blazers.
