3 biggest holes the Boston Celtics must still address this offseason

Biggest Boston Celtics hole No. 3) A replacement for Daniel Theis

When the Boston Celtics landed Malcolm Brogdon via the blockbuster trade that took place on the first full day of free agency, the talk of the town was that Brad Stevens was able to add on such a talent without giving up anything all that substantial in the process.

Now, while this is true from a sheer talent standpoint–Brogdon has averaged 18.9 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game since 2018, meanwhile the assets the C’s gave up produced next to nothing during their Finals run–, from a rounded out rotational perspective this definitely took a hit on the team, for now they have no legitimate backup big man what with Daniel Theis now in Indiana.

This could become extremely problematic down the stretch considering that the main bigs on the team have considerable baggage attached to them, for Al Horford will be 36 at the start of the campaign with ample tread on his tires while Robert Williams III has an extensive injury history.

It is because of these two aspects that, above anything else moving forward, Boston must look into addressing this lacking depth within the frontcourt.

Luckily, they still have many options that they could consider pursuing, with TPE options such as Derrick Favors, Mike Muscala, and Jakob Poeltl all seemingly being available and free agents like Dwight Howard and Demarcus Cousins still available.

The only question that remains, however, is who would make the best addition to this championship-aspiring rotation.
