Philadelphia Sixers: Nicolas Batum

The French swingman, Nicolas Batum would be a great addition to the Boston Celtics. The 35-year-old is coming off a solid season with the Philadelphia Sixers where he averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 25 minutes a night on 45% shooting and 40% from distance. He has 69 games of playoff experience in 15 NBA seasons.

In the 2024 playoffs, Batum's numbers jumped to 6.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game on 41% shooting on threes. The prototypical 3-and-D player every championship contender would gush over; particularly one competing for an NBA championship should be the top priority at this stage of his career.
