NBA Celtics: Who will take over the final roster spot?
Trade deadline passes with no moves from Boston
Now, Celtics must decide on 15th and final roster spot
The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and the Boston Celtics stood pat. They made no moves, meaning the roster as it stands now is the roster that will be for the rest of the season.
That leaves the Celtics with one open roster spot. They have 14 players on guaranteed contracts, and two players on two-way deals. The Celtics could choose to sign another player to a guaranteed contract, or they could keep the roster as is.
If the Celtics do decide to sign another player, there are a few options available. They could sign a veteran free agent, or they could trade for a player. There are also a few players who are currently on the G League, who could be worth signing.
The Celtics have a few different needs that they could address with their final roster spot. They could use another wing, or they could use another big man. They could also use another ball-handler.
It will be interesting to see what the Celtics decide to do with their final roster spot. They have a few different options, and they will need to weigh the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.
One possibility is that the Celtics could sign veteran guard Isaiah Thomas. Thomas is a free agent after being waived by the New Orleans Pelicans. He is a proven scorer and playmaker, and he would give the Celtics another option in the backcourt.
Another possibility is that the Celtics could trade for a player. They have been linked to several players in trade rumors, including Otto Porter Jr. and Harrison Barnes. Porter is a versatile wing who can shoot and defend, while Barnes is a solid all-around player who can contribute in a variety of ways.
The Celtics could also choose to sign a player from the G League. There are a few players who have performed well in the G League this season, including Trevelin Queen and Jaden Hardy. Queen is a point guard who can score and distribute, while Hardy is a shooting guard who can score in bunches.
Ultimately, the decision of what to do with their final roster spot will be up to the Celtics front office. They will need to weigh the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.
No matter what the Celtics decide to do, they will need to make a decision soon. The regular season is winding down, and the playoffs are just around the corner.
