The Boston Celtics have their eyes fixed on the 2015 NBA Draft when it comes to landing the next young pieces of the puzzle, but there's also a very crucial dip into free agency coming for the team in July. With that being said, here's 3 Free Agents Boston Should Avoid In Free Agency.
PF/SF Josh Smith
Don't be fulled by his partial renaissance with the Houston Rockets. While we trust that Brad Stevens could work similar magic to what Kevin McHale did with Smith down the stretch, the mercurial Smith seems to always be walking the tightrope between effective scorer and absolutely ineffective head case. For a young team like this one, it's better to leave such baggage to other teams.
PF/C Greg Monroe
The Celtics are in the market for a big man who can both rebound and provided top-tier rim protection. Monroe is fantastic on the boards, but he's way too slow laterally to even be considered an average inside defender. His shooting range is also extremely limited, meaning the Celtics would be paying max money for a one-dimensional restricted-area threat.
PG/SG Rodney Stuckey
Stuckey is a decent depth piece when you're looking for volume scoring off the bench, but there's little else to his game to suggest that the Celtics should take a flyer on him. Stuckey is a very poor man's Isaiah Thomas, in that his work as a floor general and ball distributor is light years behind that of the rising Thomas.
