As Kemba Walker boards his flight to Boston, the Celtics’ next priority will be finding depth at the center position. Lucky for us, a solid center is one of the cheapest commodities in today’s NBA. With multiple big men looking to explore the market as free agency opens on Sunday, Boston is once again poised for a summer drive-by rebuild. Per Shams Charania on The Athletic, the Celtics are pursuing bigs with their $4.8 million room exception, such as Enes Kanter and Kevon Looney.
While I’d expect both those guys to be out of Boston’s price range, they could still make a pitch to Robin Lopez, who’s spent the last three seasons with the Chicago Bulls.
