In a season riddled with COVID, injuries and general inconsistency, the Boston Celtics have been a team searching for answers for months now. The big ticket changes came at the trade deadline, with the team bringing in former Magic wing Evan Fournier to contribute to the team for the remainder of the season and (hopefully) beyond. While the deadline moves have been by and large considered successful, one smaller subsequent move has been significantly more polarizing to fans across the last few weeks: the signing of Jabari Parker.
Midway through April, the Celtics inked Parker — who had not been on an NBA roster since being released by the Sacramento Kings earlier this season — to a minimum contract with a non-guaranteed second year.
