Left just short of contention at the conclusion of the 2019-20 campaign, the Boston Celtics find themselves in a similar position to last year. Could they once again consider these 2 veteran centers?

Somehow, an entire 2019-20 season spanning a calendar year has come and gone, and yet the Boston Celtics could still use another veteran big man on the roster. It was evident in the offseason when was forced to dig deep into their rotation and relied on rookie Grant Williams at the center spot for extended stretches.

Williams has proven more than capable of banging in the paint with much larger bigs at just six-foot-five, but ultimately relying on him to give you anything more than 2-3 minutes per contest as the 5 is a questionable strategy at best and a high-risk strategy at worst.
