Would it make sense for the Boston Celtics to pursue the services of former Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre? According to one Celtics analyst, it very well could. According to Sports Illustrated’s Bobby Krivitsky, Tsunami Papi (as he is called for a nickname) could potentially be a valuable asset to the Celtics if he accepts a reduced role within the team.
“If Mazzulla’s on board with how he’d fit … Boston could sign the eight-year veteran for the minimum or offer a bit more while staying under the second apron, utilizing a chunk of the $5 million taxpayer mid-level exception,” posits Kritvitsky (h/t Heavy’s Adam Taylor).
