Is Chicago Bulls big man Andre Drummond the Boston Celtics’ offseason dream target?

While another such prospect who better fits Boston’s age curve could become available via the draft, it seems pretty unlikely there’s a path to landing a player who is better at the UConn alum’s position.

Is Chicago Bulls big man Andre Drummond the Boston Celtics‘ offseason free agency dream target? The Celtics will be very limited by a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was designed to do exactly that, so minimum deals are pretty much all that will be available to them.

For that reason, Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey writes that after the campaign that Drummond has had for the Bulls, “he might not be eager to sign up to be a third big” behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford. “But the Celtics could be in the market for one with Xavier Tillman, Sr. and Luke Kornet entering free agency, Porzingis still being an injury risk and Horford nearing 38.”

While another such prospect who better fits Boston’s age curve could become available via the draft, it seems pretty unlikely there’s a path to landing a player who is better at the UConn alum’s position.

And while Bailey is probably right about Drummond wanting a larger role, he’d get plenty of run when other bigs rest.

And the potential of adding a ring to one’s resume certainly does not hurt, either.
