5 potential landing spots for Chris Bosh in free agency

3. Boston Celtics

While it’d be weird to see Chris Bosh join one of the main “threats” to LeBron James in the Eastern Conference, there’s no denying a union here would make sense for both parties.

For Bosh, he’d immediately join one of the most prestigious franchises in NBA history, lending his championship experience to the younger players in the locker room and joining a legitimate contender in the East that would allow him to compete for another title.

For the Boston Celtics, Bosh might be able to help the team take the next step up the Eastern ladder and he’d address a position of need that already existed before realizing that Kelly Olynyk, Amir Johnson and Jonas Jerebko are all restricted or unrestricted free agents this summer.

Unfortunately, expecting Bosh to fill that hole at power forward would be placing a heavy burden of expectations on him right off the bat.

Also, the Celtics have to renounce pretty much all of their free agents and still clear out some additional cap room to be able to sign a star like Gordon Hayward or Blake Griffin while still retaining Isaiah Thomas, which means cap space would be extremely limited — even for a potential minimum deal with Bosh.

Between Hayward/Griffin and IT in free agency, or even potential trade talks over Paul George and Jimmy Butler, the Celtics might have bigger fish to fry.
