Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics need help in their frontcourt. Even after bringing Al Horford back from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Kemba Walker deal, the Celtics need more depth there, especially at power forward.
With Evan Fournier leaving in free agency to sign with the New York Knicks, the Celtics may have to use Jayson Tatum more on the wing than in the frontcourt. Josh Richardson will help soak up some minutes there, but he could be used in the backcourt along with Dennis Schroder.
Tristan Thompson was also traded away this offseason in the three-team deal that landed Kris Dunn in Boston. Bruno Fernando was also acquired in that deal, but having a veteran such as Paul Millsap would certainly ease the concerns at power forward.
Going into a season with Grant Williams as the leading candidate for minutes at power forward, if Tatum isn’t deployed there and Horford is used at center, isn’t ideal. Adding Millsap to the mix would provide Ime Udoka with a veteran that would help on both ends of the court.

The power forward spot is really the last thing the Celtics need to fill on their roster. Millsap is capable of providing solid defense and a little bit of floor stretching for 18-22 minutes per game.
