Could a TJ Warren signing make sense for the Boston Celtics?

Warren is an experienced NBA player known for his time with the Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns and the Indiana Pacers in recent seasons. He overcame a serious foot injury that kept him sidelined for nearly two full seasons.

Has the veteran forward recovered fully? Will he find his shot again in the season to come? What else can he offer a team as a deep rotation option with the upside of being able to slide into a bigger role when the situation calls for it? These are the questions in need of an answer before Boston or other ball clubs can make a decision on whether to sign Warren this season.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast talked it over on a recent episode.

What TJ Warren could bring to the Boston Celtics as a free agent signing

Does Boston already have enough injury-prone players to consider when building out the rest of the roster for the Celtics’ 2023-24 campaign?

The Boston Celtics have reportedly worked out and met with unrestricted free agent small forward TJ Warren, the former first-team All-Bubble Indiana Pacers star. Warren played with the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns last year after missing most of the previous two seasons with a serious hairline fracture in his foot that threatened to end his NBA career.

Would it make sense for the Celtics to roll the dice on a Warren signing in case he finds his shot again in the season to come? Or does Boston already have enough injury-prone players to consider when building out the rest of the roster for the Celtics’ 2023-24 campaign?

CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning weighs what Warren could bring if he signs with the Celtics and whether he has anything left after struggling to get on the floor in Phoenix in a recent episode of the “Garden Report” podcast.

Which free agent forward should the Boston Celtics sign?

Glenn Robinson III, Lamar Stevens, Louis King, and TJ Warren are all competing for a spot with the Celtics per reports.

The Boston Celtics are reportedly working out four wing prospects to add to their 2023-24 roster. The four are Glenn Robinson III, Lamar Stevens, Louis King and TJ Warren. They might also want to bring back veteran big Blake Griffin.

Boston has two regular roster spots and a two-way roster spot available. In addition, the contract for veteran big man Luke Kornet is not guaranteed. That means Boston could add as many as four of those five players. Far more likely is it will add only two and keep Kornet.

The host of the “Locked On Celtics” podcast, John Karalis, recently sat down with guest Tom Westerholm of Boston Dot Com to talk over what players are the best fit for the Celtics and more.

Should the Boston Celtics consider adding Louis King to their roster for the NBA’s 2023-24 season?

Should the Boston Celtics consider adding free agent forward Louis King to their roster for the NBA’s 2023-24 season? The Celtics are reportedly working out Lamar Stevens, TJ Warren, and King in an effort to find some depth help on the wing for what little money they have left to spend under the league’s new second apron, signaling that the storied ball club is not confident in the strength of their current wing rotation.

The Celtics will need a balanced roster that can play effectively on both ends of the court in the regular season and the playoffs both, and they do not have much in the way of wiggle room to recover should they make a mistake.

The host of the CLNS Media “Winning Plays” podcast Brian Robb recently linked up with NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg to talk over who the team ought to add to finish their roster for next season.

Check out the episode embedded above to hear what they had to say about which wing would make the most sense in green and white for the 2023-24 season.

Should the Boston Celtics sign TJ Warren?

The importance of roster flexibility and the likelihood of team president Brad Stevens entering the season with a roster spot open for potential trades or signings is also worth considering.

[anyclip pubname=”2123″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8170″]

The Boston Celtics are reported to be considering TJ Warren and Lamar Stevens for open roster spots. Warren is a scorer who, if recovered from serious foot injury, could contribute 8 to 12 points per game off the bench.

On the other hand, Lamar Stevens is viewed as a defensive-minded player who might not fit the current Celtics style, given the predilection of head coach Joe Mazzulla to lean into an offense-first team identity. The importance of roster flexibility and the likelihood of team president Brad Stevens entering the season with a roster spot open for potential trades or signings is also worth considering.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what the hosts of the “Green With Envy” podcast to hear their thoughts on whether the Celtics ought to sign Warren — or go in another direction.

Celtics work out Glen Robinson III ahead of training camp

The Boston Celtics have worked out another wing ahead of training camp, as they look to fill their empty roster spots.

[anyclip pubname=”2123″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8170″]

The Boston Celtics have been inviting numerous wings to workouts in recent days. Currently, the Celtics have two open roster spots heading into training camp. Behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, there are minutes at the wing position up for grabs.

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the Celtics recently worked out Glen Robinson III as they continue exploring all available options. Robinson, 29, is a former second-round pick who is entering his eighth year in the NBA. This past season, Robinson played 23 games for the Sacramento Kings, starting two and averaging 5.9 points and 2.6 rebounds on 45.7% shooting from the field and 37.3% from 3-point range.

The other wings the Celtics will be hosting for workouts are TJ Warren, Lamar Stevens, and Louis King.

Warren has spent the past season with the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns after recovering from a foot injury that kept him out of the 2021-22 season. Stevens is known for his defensive upside and intensity. And, King is a career two way player who is likely looking to take a step up in role.

Brad Stevens will have a tough decision to make regarding who he extends a contract offer to. However, we can rest assured any decision he makes will be based on legitimate talent evaluations and scouting.

Celtics are hosting free agents for workouts – who makes the most sense?

What will the team prioritize for filling their last open roster spots?

[anyclip pubname=”2123″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8170″]

The Boston Celtics are hosting several free agents for workouts as they look for the final additions to their 2023-24 roster, including TJ Warren, Lamar Stevens, and Louis King. Blake Griffin also recently praised the fans, team, and championship-focused environment of the city, hinting at a potential wish to return.

The Celtics are exploring options for signing these free agents, considering factors like defensive ability, offensive contributions, and potential roles off the bench. Stevens is particularly known for his defensive hustle while Warren has shown improvement in his three-point shooting, King’s potential role could be as a two way player for Boston.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast recently got together to talk over these late offseason free agency rumbles.

Would TJ Warren, Lamar Stevens, or Louis King be a better fit for the Boston Celtics?

Warren brings offense and an injury history, while Stevens and King defense and inexperience, respectively.

The Boston Celtics are looking to enhance their roster for the 2023-24 NBA season by beefing up their depth, particularly on the wing. To that end, the storied ball club was recently connected to a pair of workouts of two forwards, free agents TJ Warren and Lamar Stevens which took place earlier this week.

Warren, a 29-year-old with a 14-point career scoring average, has battled serious foot injuries, while the 26-year-old Stevens is recognized for his defensive skills if not much else still early in his NBA career. The team is also reportedly considering signing Louis King, a former two-way forward for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Would King, Warren, or Stevens be a better addition to the Celtics?

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what Trenni Casey, Amina Smith, and Chris Forsberg of NBC Boston Sports’ “Arbella Early Edition” had to say about the potential additions.

Would TJ Warren or Lamar Stevens make more sense for the Boston Celtics to sign to one of their open roster spots?

What are the pros and cons of bringing on each player?

Would TJ Warren or Lamar Stevens make more sense for the Boston Celtics to sign to one of their open roster spots? What are the pros and cons of bringing on each player and how could they fit into the team’s plans for the 2023-24 season and beyond?

On one hand, Warren is a considerably more experienced player who has a baseline of offense to offer the Celtics as a seasoned bench player, but he also has a fairly serious injury history on a team increasingly populated by players with similar issues. On the other hand, Stevens is a younger player who does not have much in the way of offensive game that would primarily add value to the roster on the other end of the court.

The host of the “Locked On Celtics” podcast John Karalis weighed in on which of the two forwards would be the better fit in his estimation.

Shams: Boston Celtics to work out TJ Warren, Lamar Stevens this week

“Both players will undergo workouts and are being considered for a potential deal with the Celtics,” relates Charania.

Per new reporting from The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics are “meeting with two free agent forwards in Boston this week for a potential wing addition” to help flesh out the ball club’s roster for the 2023-24 season. According to Charania, the Celtics “are meeting with free agent forwards TJ Warren and Lamar Stevens in Boston this week”.

“Both players will undergo workouts and are being considered for a potential deal with the Celtics, who still have multiple open roster spots” adds the Athletic reporter. “Warren averaged 7.5 points for the (Brooklyn) Nets last season while Stevens established himself as a defensive-minded force, starting 25 of 62 games for the (Cleveland Cavaliers).”

Both players have some fairly glaring issues with neither shooting well from beyond the arc in recent seasons and Warren not far removed from a serious foot injury that cost him an entire season in 2021-22.

But Warren could provide valuable depth off the bench and has flashed some of the scoring ability that had him on the league’s radar before his foot injury and Stevens could add some much-needed defensive acumen.

Can either add to their limited track record on the other end of the court? Whether the Celtics’ brass believes they might could decide if one of them plays in green and white next season.
