No thanks.. I want guys who play defense.
This.
I actually do want the Celtics to bring in a big wing this offseason and Carmelo can still get buckets... but he's a turnstile on defense and who knows what attitude he'd bring.
I'd rather go after Otto Porter. A big wing who can defend and shoot 3's and spend the last year in a top-notch NBA program in GS. Having him and Grant as the wings off the bench next year would be a nice fit.
Would you give him the TP-MLE or only vet min?
I don't know what would be required. He's a big 3-D wing so it'll probably be more than the vet min.
The thing about this Celtics roster, though, is that if they have success this season, it could mostly be set for next year (assuming Horford takes a bit of a step back and Grant takes a bit of a step forward). Will it need a tweak, like adding Porter, or a bigger move, like using Horford's contract to swap for a bigger name?
