After eight years with Dallas, Jason Terry is leaving the team he helped win a title in 2011. He's expected to sign July 11 with Boston.

In a phone interview with FOX Sports Florida on Wednesday, the free-agent guard said it's certain he will depart Dallas. He said he's still "solidifying a deal" with the Celtics, although not everything is completed.

"It definitely won't be Dallas," Terry said of where he will play next season.
