Next year dream addition?

[dannyboy35]

  Who would be your dream addition for the mid level if we bring back and keep the starting 5 plus White, Grant, Pritchard and Theis? 
 

[Goldstar88]

1)TJ Warren
2) Robert Covington
3) Otto Porter Jr
4) Kyle Anderson


Team needs a backup SF.

[Ed Monix]

Given the Celtics will be a tax paying team, our mid-level exception will only be a bit over 6 million.

That doesn’t leave the Celtics with much options, unless the player is willing to take a discount for a chance at a championship.

- Joe Ingles
- Pat Connaughton
- JaVale McGee
- Bruce Brown Jr.
- Jeff Green

Any of these players would be a great addition for the MLE.

—————————

If I had to make a choice, I’d go with Ingles (if he comes back healthy) specifically because he offers what we are lacking off the bench; shooting, playmaking and leadership.

Williams III
Horford
Tatum
Brown
Smart

White, Ingles, Williams, Theis, Prichard, Nesmith

[Roy H.]

Dream addition?  Harrison Barnes.

For the MLE, any of the names mentioned so far would be fine.

I like Daniel Theis, but I think backup center is the weakest spot in the 9-man rotation. I'd like to replace Theis with someone who is a better/bigger defender, stronger on the offensive glass and can shoot more consistently.  Now if Theis can improve/regain his touch, then I'm fine with him because he gives a different look than Timelord, somebody the defense has to pay attention to on the perimeter.

[RJ87]

Otto Porter Jr. would be my primary realistic target.

[perks-a-beast]

Will The Celtics still have TPE's to use this summer if they wanted?

[Csfan1984]

Is the tax payer MLE going to be enough for an impact guy?

Who would this better/bigger/stronger defender that can shoot and control the glass be? Sounds like a big ask for somebody making the taxpayer MLE. Maybe we can grab Embiid or Jokic to be our back-up Center.

Theis is pretty much the ideal fit for this roster when completely healthy, and adequate when not. He literally can do all of the things you describe - maybe not at an elite level - but the fact that he is so versatile (and coachable) is a super-underrated part of his game.

Bradley Beal?

[Silas]

As a realistic get, I continue to be a fan of Otto Porter Jr.  He would be the perfect backup for sf and pf.  He can shoot, rebound, and play good D, and from what I've read, a decent guy.  He is 28 on a $2.4 Mil contract with GS that ends this year.  Get him Brad.

Oh, it's supposed to be a realistic addition...

I don't know, I guess I was dreaming!

Healthy Rob Williams. That's who I want.

Like I said, I’m fine with DT if he would shoot more consistently.

OP said it’s a dream addition. I don’t know who, I’m dreaming.
