With one roster spot remaining, the Boston Celtics have plenty of options to choose from. If the Celtics plan to fill that last spot with another wing, Bleacher Report\u2019s Zach Buckley explained why he believes ex-Celtic Javonte Green would be a \u201csneaky free-agent pickup.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cJavonte Green spent his first season-plus with the Shamrocks, forming a close bond with Jayson Tatum in the process. Green also endeared himself to the fanbase with insatiable energy and occasional aerial antics. He does his best work defensively, but his hustle and hops can give the open-court offense some extra zip,\u201d Buckley wrote in a December 20 story.<\/p>\n

Buckley added the one obstacle Green would have to get over to be brought back.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had knee surgery in January and couldn\u2019t crack the Chicago Bulls\u2018 rotation upon his return, so he might have to prove his health before securing his NBA return. If his knee is good to go, though, he could still spark this squad like he has in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Celtics have plenty of backup wings that they\u2019ve only played when their rotation players are out with injuries. Oshae Brissett, Dalano Banton, Svi Mykhailiuk, and Lamar Stevens have all sparsely seen the floor. If the Celtics got rid of most or all of them in a trade, then adding Green would make some sense.<\/p>\n

Javonte Green Would \u2018Welcome Return\u2019 to Celtics: Sources
\nHeavy Sports\u2019 Sean Deveney reported that Javonte Green would be all for a second go-round with the Celtics.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreen, a close friend of Celtics star Jayson Tatum, \u2018would welcome,\u2019 a return to the Celtics, a source said,\u201d Deveney wrote in a June 28 story.<\/p>\n

Despite Green\u2019s reported interest, there has yet to be any confirmation that the feeling is mutual between the two sides. Brad Stevens has re-acquired multiple players who previously played for the Celtics, like Al Horford and Daniel Theis. Hence, he wouldn\u2019t be above bringing back an ex-Celtic if he felt it was necessary. Should the Celtics find themselves short on wings in the near future, they may call Green\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

After a preseason stint with the Golden State Warriors, Green is currently a free agent, so he is attainable. Green played for the Celtics from 2019 to 2021, when they traded him, along with Daniel Theis, to the Bulls at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Celtics Will Be \u2018Aggressive\u2019 in Pursuing Bench Help: Report
\nNBA Insider Shams Charania reported that the Celtics will be on the lookout for more bench help via trade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Celtics will be active on the trade market to pursue bench help. They want to see what\u2019s out there in the marketplace,\u201d Charania said on \u201cRun It Back\u201d on December 18. \u201cThey are going to be aggressive in just seeing what could be out there for bench help.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Celtics don\u2019t have much in terms of matching expendable salaries to offer in a trade. However, they have multiple trade exceptions, including the $6.2 million Grant Williams TPE, to use. If the Celtics find a way to upgrade their bench and potentially open up more roster spots, that would open the door for a Javonte Green reunion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
