6 potential 2020 need-based free agency targets for the Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics still need bench scoring, and may need to bolster the frontcourt and guard rotation — here are six affordable candidates for those roles.

Jeff Teague — point guard — unrestricted

One of the few floor generals available who could reasonably be expected to take a major regular-season role to help preserve Kemba Walker’s health for the postseason, Teague would see sixth-man-like minutes for much of the season.

More importantly, he has the appropriate skillset to function as both a starter in more of a pure point guard role, but also as a second unit scorer.

A career 35.6 % shot from outside who averaged 5.2 assists per game last season, Teague’s veteran presence could be an affordable upgrade over Brad Wanamaker, who is likely looking for a bigger role while the possibility is open to him.
