Boston Celtics: 3 former C’s that need to comeback to the team

Former Boston Celtics player No. 2) Gerald Green

The man with nine fingers and a shamrock in his hair, Gerald Green.

After two incredibly memorable stints with the Boston Celtics, he is seeking another NBA comeback.

Should the C’s take a flier on this high flyer?

The answer is undoubtedly a yes!

Surely Brad Stevens remembers putting the veteran in the starting rotation to overcome the Chicago Bulls in playoffs years ago, going with a smaller, quicker lineup seemed to spell success for the C’s.

Yes, that was then, this is now, but at 36-years-old the wing can still bring a positive impact on any team.

The Celtics could use more end-of-the-bench leaders and capable shooters.

Green boasts a career 36 percent shooting clip from beyond the arc and his ability to have a high release on his jumper makes for a secret weapon.

The 12-year veteran knows what it takes to win in this league being a part of multiple deep playoff runs with not only Boston but with the Houston Rockets as well.

His 68 career playoff games played would already supersede most of, if not all of the current Boston Celtics roster.

We should consider filling out the roster with a win-now identity.

It is also imperative to have more wing depth behind Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Should either star go down, we need someone to give us a needed punch to stay competitive.

This is why the C’s need to bolster their bench to avoid a disaster if and when injury strikes.

A former fan favorite returning who gave his all in Boston should only be seen as a positive. He was drafted by us and grew here as a player.

Why not join a surging Celtics team hunting for the elusive banner 18?

Gerald reportedly left his role as player development coach for Houston to pursue an NBA comeback, and he’s rounding into form in the G-League right now.
