The Boston Celtics, who have been on the rise since coach Brad Stevens took over, are expected to sign a star player this offseason. The Celtics, who have 33 million dollars in salary cap space, have never in the history of their storied organization had so much money available to sign players in one particular year. There are many potential stars that the Celtics may sign, but the question is should one of them be Marc Gasol?“I feel like we need to have a busy summer, and we will have a busy summer," said President of Basketball Operations and former Celtics Player Danny Ainge. ESPNBoston.com. "Hopefully we can get some things accomplished that we need to. I think we need to upgrade our talent level on our team, and at the same time I'm very excited about a lot of the individuals that we have. Actually, all the individuals, I thought, played the best basketball of their careers in a lot of cases. So I'm excited about the players that we have, and at the same time I feel like we're not at the same level as a team like Cleveland. We found that out."
Gasol, a two time all star and a former NBA Defensive player of the year, is a 7'1" big man with versatility. Although Gasol averaged a mere 17.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks per game, he has the ability to score and rebound even more, he just has good teammates so he is not asked to do as much. He brings with him tons of playoff experience.
