Veteran target for the Boston Celtics No. 2) Wesley Matthews
Despite having arguably the most menacing wing duo in the entire association in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the depth at the position could actually still use for some bolstering.
Because of this, we at the Houdini believe the Boston Celtics should strongly consider targeting some veteran wings on low-cost deals to help fill out the rotation, hence why we’ve gone about and listed James Ennis as a viable target.
Here, we see similar logic applied when it comes to the likes of veteran swing-man, Wesley Matthews.
A 12-year veteran, the 34-year-old boasts career averages of 12.6 points, 2.9 boards, and 2.1 assists on 42 percent shooting from the floor and nearly 38 percent shooting from deep.
While he may have struggled mightily with his offensive game in 2020-21, as he posted averages of just 4.8 points per game on a mere 35 percent shooting from the floor and 33.5 percent shooting from deep, this could have easily been largely contributed to the fact that his role within the rotation for the Los Angeles Lakers was constantly changing.
With a history of being viewed as one of the best 3-and-D role players in the league, Matthews could be looking to have himself a bounce-back season to prove he can still be a solid presence to have coming off the bench.
Perhaps the Cs should consider taking a flier on the two-way vet.
