Maybe. But for the minimum, there's very little risk. And the reward is big if Vooch somehow likes Boston and buys into the idea of competing for a title when Tatum is back, and you can convince him to re-sign for a team-friendly extension. Then you've got your KP replacement -- less shotblocking but more rebounding, but also more durable and cheaper.
He will be 36 years old to start the 26/27 season.
If we can get him on a minimum that year and he can contribute then great. No need for him this year. We need to get minutes for the younger guys, mainly Queta.
What you are basically saying is winning is not important this year. Not saying that is wrong or right. People just need to say it like it is. If the Celtics go into the season with Queta, Garza, A Wiliams and Tillman then they are telling the world their intent is to win as little games as possible. Again, I'm not saying that is wrong, just stop pretending for it to be something different.
To say Nikola Vucevic wouldn't help when you are throwing Queta, Garza, A Williams and Tillman out there is just ridiculous. It wouldn't help if your goal is to lose games. Again, I'm not saying that is wrong.
