The Celtics are heading into a summer that could bring great change, but the representative for two of their three free agents is certainly not looking for a way out for his clients.

As David Falk, agent for Evan Turner and Jared Sullinger, quite correctly put it, “It’s too early to tell.” But his clients want to stay.

Much of that will be determined by what the Celts can do in the draft and trades and with other free agents, which makes timing a key. Sullinger will be a restricted free agent if the club gives him a qualifying offer of $4,433,683 by June 30. Turner is an unrestricted free agent.

“I developed a philosophy when free agency started in 1996,” said Falk. “We prepared for it extensively the first year they had unrestricted free agency. I told my clients and I told the owners that free agency is a game of musical chairs. When the music stops, if you’re a team, you’d better have a player. And if you’re a player, you’d better have a team.”

Communication will be a key as the Celtics investigate their opportunities, and in that regard, Falk and the club are on very good terms, which should make it easier for them to work together.

“I have a great relationship with Danny Ainge and with the ownership, and that’s been over a number of years,” said Falk. “We’ve been through difficult situations with Jeff Green having heart surgery, and they had to decide whether or not to withdraw his qualifying offer. That was a tough situation, but they were very good and fair about it.”

(The Celtics could have kept the qualifying offer in play, but they withdrew it, allowing Green to be an unrestricted free agent as he came off surgery. An appreciative Falk called it a Christmas present.)

Depending on how the market shakes out in the first summer with a greatly increased salary cap, Sullinger may be interested in accepting the qualifying offer, a one-year deal that would make him an unrestricted free agent in 2017.

“We had a player play for the qualifying offer two years ago in Greg Monroe,” said Falk of the 6-foot-11 inside force who played out the year with Detroit and signed with Milwaukee. “He wanted the opportunity to be an unrestricted free agent and go where he wanted to go. We turned down a lot of money and we took the qualifying offer. We haven’t determined yet whether that’s a scenario that we’ll entertain with Jared, but it’s something I certainly believe in.”

The situation with Turner is more defined. The question is whether, as the Celtics seek other players, he’ll get an offer early in the free agent period that he cannot refuse.

But Turner is strongly on the record with his desire to return,

“Evan’s made it known that he’d like to come back, and we’ll just have to see how it works out,” said Falk. “Boston and Brad Stevens have been great for him.

“He needed to go to a place where he’d have a coach who would help him grow and improve and embrace him and motivate him, and Brad’s been terrific for Evan. And I think Evan’s been terrific for the Celtics, and I hope that he can stay with the Celtics.

“If anyone asks me the number one destination where he’d like to go, I’d tell them he wants to come back to Boston. Whether or not Boston makes that happen is really more on them. Evan’s a very valuable player. If they want to protect their equity value in Evan, they’ll find a way to do that. We have a great relationship with management, and I think that’s certainly doable. Whether it happens or not, only time will tell. But we’re certainly going to make an effort to do that.”
