For years, the Boston Celtics have been in the market for a versatile big man. They brought Al Horford back into the fold for this season and Robert Williams’ has taken that next step. However, the team could still use a little more help in the frontcourt.

Balancing out the roster could help the Celtics get back on track as well. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are sometimes out of position playing both forward spots, so acquiring someone that can lock down the starting power forward spot could help the team.

The Celtics were a rumored landing spot for John Collins during the offseason before he re-upped with the Hawks. Could they try their hand at acquiring him again?

He would be an excellent third option behind Tatum and Brown, giving them a young, versatile Big 3 to build the roster up around. Given his efficiency, he would make the most of the chances presented to him and should find plenty of easy scoring opportunities with teams focused on Tatum and Brown.

Defensively, his ability to play either frontcourt spot would be an added bonus for the Celtics. If Ime Udoka wants to go a little bigger with Horford or R. Williams, he can. If he wants to go smaller, Collins can slide over to the center spot with Grant Williams at power forward.

The Celtics need a little shakeup and landing Collins could provide what they are looking for. Marcus Smart, whom Atlanta showed interest in last season, could be part of the deal heading back in exchange for Collins.
