If you could add any one player in the NBA to this Celtics team without getting rid of anyone who would you take?

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

that's my thinking as well.  Giannis would provide high-level 2-way play.  would allow Al to go to the bench to platoon with Timelord at center.   imagine a fast break with Giannis, Tatum and Brown coming at you if you're the defense.

Jokic would provide rebounding, passing and scoring but he doesn't fit the team's switching defensive scheme.  of course that wouldn't stop me from taking him with a giggle of glee

Jokic would have a field day dishing out to JT, JB, Smart, etc. And if you don’t double him, he’ll eat at the post.

Yeah. I think he would compliment them a lot better than Giannis would.

Jokic is a worthy choice.

Giannis in a heartbeat for rest of career. If it was just for this year, I’d consider Durant.

It’s game seven in the NBA Finals and we’re down 1 with 4 seconds to go? I want Kawhi.

Kawhi because I can actually envision him someday being a Celtic, unlike Jokic and Giannis, and I firmly believe he is the best playoff player since MJ and the smartest player in the league. Put JT at the 4, Kawhi at the 3, JB at the 2 and watch magic. Giannis, Jokic and Doncic are right up there obviously.

Giannis or Jokic can't go wrong with either one.

Or Luka who's considerably younger than both of them and is playing at a similar level. Our switch-heavy defensive scheme would be the perfect way to hide his defensive limitations. Him and the Jays would dominate the league for the next decade.

Can't go wrong with any of Luka / Jokic / Giannis.
