For once, the Boston Celtics are looking to stand pat.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge is looking to keep the group that came one game shy of the NBA Finals by re-signing restricted free agent Marcus Smart while also retaining Terry Rozier on his rookie-scale deal, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe.

Both Smart and Rozier thrived when given a larger role in the postseason, but they will again be secondary pieces once Kyrie Irving is healthy. Given that the Celtics are also short on cap flexibility, the possibility of flipping Rozier at the peak of his value or letting Smart walk in free agency was thought to be the most likely solution to Boston's logjam.

However, as Washburn reports, Ainge is looking to maintain his depth and is apparently willing to pay the price. Stocking the team with talented backup guards also makes sense given Irving's injury history.

Although extension talks broke down last summer, re-signing Smart shouldn't be too difficult given the lack of cap room around the league. Smart boasted he was worth more than $12-14 million after his season ended, but he is hitting free agency at an unfortunate time.
