Boston Celtics: 4 NBA teams that could consider signing Theo Pinson

Cleveland Cavaliers

So far, what J. B. Bickerstaff has done with the Cleveland Cavaliers lineup has worked to somewhat astonishing results.

Using traditional power forwards in the small forward spot–which has included both Lauri Markkanen and Dean Wade since the former’s COVID-19 Health and Safety protocols related suspension–Bickerstaff has put the clamps down on opponents en route to coaching the league’s sixth ranked defense.

That strategy has seen high usage for his frontcourt. If he ever wants to deploy traditional wings again, Pinson is a scoring-centric option the Cavaliers front office could pursue.

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings were on a four-game losing streak recently that had many wondering whether they would finally can head coach Luke Walton after a downtrodden start to his tenure in California’s capital.

31-41 in two consecutive seasons has led the way to a 6-8 start this season. They stopped their slide yesterday, and have also started second round draft pick Chimezie Metu the past two games. Whether or not the Kings right the ship or not, perhaps Sacramento could be the land of opportunity for a guy like Pinson in 2021-22.
