Boston Celtics: 3 free agents Cs must pursue with final roster spot

Boston Celtics free agent option No. 2) Wesley Matthews

Despite the fact that the Boston Celtics have one of the most tantalizing wing duos in the association in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the position as a whole is rather shallow in regard to established talent and has been for quite some time now.

Sure, Cs fans have hope that guys like Aaron Nesmith and Romeo Langford can show out during their second and third seasons, respectively, and, in turn, better bolster the position for this year, but they are far from sure-fire commodities and, on a team looking to compete, experience and a proven track record are musts.

Because of this, should they wish to address the wing with their final roster spot, they could be interested in pursuing a guy in Wesley Matthews who we at the Houdini have been advocating for quite some time.

At 34-year-old with 12 years of experience in the league, the 3-and-D vet 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.

Though he may have underwhelmed coniderably during his lone stint in La La Land with the Lakers last season (4.8 points per game on 35 percent shooting from the floor), this could largely have been as a result of Los Angeles’ poor production as a unit overall as well as their constant reshuffling of Matthews’ role within the rotation.

Stability could be the key to getting the wing back on track and have him revert to being a quality rotational player off the pine. Perhaps the Boston Celtics could offer him just that.
