2. Marcin Gortat

Marcin Gortat would make a ton of sense for the Celtics to sign, and would help them fix the front-court problem that they have had the past couple of seasons. Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk are both talented players, but they can’t rebound and score consistently like Gortat can. He’s going to be a fairly expensive option if they do decide to sign him, but he would be worth every penny that they give him. Brad Stevens would be very happy to have a legitimate center in the lineup, and he would help the Celtics take a big step forward as far as getting back into playoff contention in the near future.
