Boston Celtics: 3 high-impact free agents Cs MUST pursue

Though they may find themselves strapped for cash this offseason, the Boston Celtics should still set their sights on some of this year’s high-impact free agents.

The Boston Celtics find themselves in quite a perplexing situation.

Despite the fact that they finished as the third seed in the East and brought the Miami Heat to six games in the Conference Finals they appear as though they still need a decent amount of fine-tuning to get to where they ultimately wish to be — a championship.

For some teams, they look to the draft to add that missing piece in hopes that they blossom into a high-impact player right away and, in turn, aid in their quest for glory. Yes, while the shamrocks do hold the rights to 3 first-round picks in this upcoming draft, due to Danny Ainge’s track-record outside the top-10 one could venture to guess that, if he does wind up keeping them, they’ll likely need ample time to develop.

Often, we here at HH have also suggested the Cs look to the trading route to try and bring on players they believe to be the missing pieces in their rotation.

That said, while there is obviously a chance that Boston could nab at least one player in this year’s draft — ** Jalen Smith ** — that could contribute from day one or strike a deal for one of several players rumored to be on the open market, their most likely course of action will be to look to the free agency circuit.

Being the team will be strapped for cash this offseason, it’s almost a guarantee that they will not be in the running for the top-tier talents available on the open market. Because of this, they’ll need to utilize their MLE’s and Veteran’s Minimum contracts wisely.

There are, however, a few very solid players they could potentially entice with these types of contracts.

Without further adieu, here are 3 high-impact players the Boston Celtics MUST pursue this offseason:
