2014-15 free agents

[michael 26]

I just read and article on Celtics Life about the C's might target in free agency in the near future and found it very intriguing:

Mike Miller (unrestricted; $884,293 in 2013/14)- for the right price, this is a quality signing. Miller is going to provide a steady hand off the bench down the stretch. On a young team, quality veteran leadership is a must have. He?s healthier than he was in his last days with the Heat and could be worth a look. Especially if Bradley and Bayless move on from Boston.

Jodie Meeks (unrestricted; $1,550,000 in 2013/14)- a shining spot on a terrible Lakers team, Meeks is a contributor whose long range shot ability would add serious fire power to the Celtics. Depending on if the Celtics want to pay Avery Bradley and/or Jerryd Bayless, and what they do in the draft, they?re going to need a trustworthy talent at the two-guard position. Meeks should be on the list of calls to make.

Spencer Hawes (unrestricted; $6,600,000 in 2013/14)- Boston needs an actual center to play center. I don?t know if Boston can match the mystique of Cleveland, but maybe we can lure him away from the City that Eats Potential.

Greg Monroe- (restricted; $5,479,934 quaifying offer for 2014/15) Greg Monroe is out of place in Detroit. They either need to trade Josh Smith or Greg Monroe, and I don?t know if Smoove?s contract is getting moved, so let?s consider Monroe on the block. He?s a talented big man that needs a change of scenery to advance his game.

Gordon Hayward (restricted; $4,677,708 qualifying offer for 2014/15)- He might be the guy. His stock is going to skyrocket the minute he hits the market and Utah is going to get a lot of offers. If Boston misses out on the Love sweepstakes, all that loot might get shipped off to Utah for Hayward.

As you can see the list didn't feature the biggest names in free agency but it had some very solid guys in there. A player that looked pretty good too me was Jodie Meeks. Such a great shooter who played very well this season would be an awesome addition to the Celtics. Also I think he can be signed for pretty cheap for a guy as good as he is.

I also had my eye on Greg Monroe, who will obviously cost the Celtics a little more than Meeks but he could make the Celtics so much better. Finally getting a quality center who can defend as well as play offense would be big.

Who do you think would be the best option for the Celtics?
