Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Restricted free-agent center Greg Stiemsma has received an offer from a new suitor, according to a league source.
The Celtics extended a $1.05 million qualifying offer to Stiemsma before the free-agency period, while the Timberwolves have expressed consistent interest in the 6-foot-11 big man this offseason. But while Stiemsma’s camp awaits an offer sheet from Minnesota, it appears a third team has entered the fray.
This offer, when formally delivered, will almost certainly price Boston out of the Stiemsma Sweepstakes. Given their cap constraints, the Celtics are unable to match even a modest offer for his services, with only the biannual exception ($1.95 million) remaining above a minimum contract and Boston nearing the luxury-tax threshold.

For Leuer it's been a hard and trying off-season as he was traded from Milwaukee to Houston on the eve of the NBA Draft and then earlier this week was waived by the Rockets, leaving him homeless in the association.
