Boston Celtics: Ersan Ilyasova

Adding bodies to the Boston Celtics’ depth chart could end up being a no-no.

Eight of their players are under cheap nfl authentic jerseys guaranteed contract for next season. They’ll jump to 11 if, as expected, they hold on to deals for Semi Ojeleye, Abdel Nader and Daniel Theis. From there, they have key free agents in Aron Baynes, Shane Larkin, Greg Monroe and Marcus Smart (restricted). They may need to select a draft-and-stash prospect at No. 27 to make room for everyone.cheap authentic nfl jerseys

Boston should find itself with at least one roster spot to go around. Larkin and Monroe are expendable with Kyrie Irving and Theis in the rotation, while Baynes or Smart could price himself out of town.

Isolating a target for the Celtics is difficult no matter what assumptions are made about their personnel. They’ll be up against the luxury tax unless they let Smart walk. Even if he signs his $6.1 million qualifying offer, they’d need to cut Baynes loose to wield the non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception ($8.6 million). Otherwise, the mini MLE ($5.3 million) is their friend.

Ersan Ilyasova should fall within Boston’s cheap nfl jerseys from china  range so long as it’s willing to shell out more than minimum contracts. Thirty-one-year-olds aren’t prime ring-chasing candidates, but he’ll be hard-pressed to get more than $5.3 million annually in a cap-starved market.nfl jerseys cheap china

Signing him gives the Celtics a nice go-between in the frontcourt. He shoots threes (36.6 percent for his career), draws charges and can play the 4 or 5. He’ll be especially useful if Boston punts on traditional bigs altogether and shows Baynes the door.nfl jerseys

Ilyasova isn’t a brute force, but he props up floor balance without sacrificing too much size. He’s also a sneaky-hard worker on the glass when manning the middle. The Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers rated in the 77th percentile of the offensive boards during the time he spent at center this past season.
