The Boston Celtics brought in Neemias Queta on a two-way contract, and while the 24-year-old seven-footer will likely spend most of his time in Maine, the move could signal the beginning of an audition process for Brad Stevens.
Al Horford is 37 years old - he won’t be around forever. This year will be the first season of his two-year contract extension, and after that, his future in the league is unclear. Meanwhile, Robert Williams and new Celtic Kristaps Porzingis have dealt with injury issues throughout their careers.
Boston has one of the best big rotations in the league, but it comes at a cost.
