Despite making two trades around the NBA trade deadline, the Boston Celtics still have an open roster spot. As such, they’re expected to be potential players in the buy-out market as they look to add one final piece to a potential championship puzzle. Of course, whoever the Celtics add will likely need to be willing to accept a bench role within the rotation.
Boston has arguably the most talented top-8 rotation in the NBA. Any veteran that is added off the buy-out market will be seen as injury insurance for the remainder of the season.
According to the Green With Envy podcast, that veteran addition could be Danilo Gallinari. The veteran forward is currently a free agent after being waived by the Detroit Pistons. He has unfinished business with the Celtics after he tore his ACL shortly after signing with the franchise in 2022.
Despite his advancing age, Gallinari is still a legitimate floor space and a reliable stationary shooter. However, his defensive limitations could be a concern for Celtics fans.
