This is what the Boston Celtics need to be a strong contender for the ring this season

There are reasons to dream, to boast about a job well done, and to roll up one's sleeves to culminate the feat. In the offices of Boston Celtics, they are clear that an unexpected window of opportunity has opened and that they could make a significant move in the NBA market, positioning themselves as strong contenders for glory.

To compete at maximum even when there seems to be no major apparent goal to conquer. That was the motto with which Boston Celtics started the season, seemingly heading towards liquidation with the departures of Porzingis and Holiday. These moves were interpreted as a firm decision by Brad Stevens to have a transitional season, awaiting Tatum's return, but neither players nor coaching staff were willing to give up on the franchise culture of Massachusetts.

Queta and Garza fall short to compete with guarantees in playoffs

Occupying the third spot in the Eastern Conference, with a sense of maximum cohesion among the team members, young players exceeding expectations, and Jaylen Brown proving to be a great star, these Boston Celtics are taking advantage of the power vacuum due to the poor performance of the Cavs, the sinking of the Pacers, and the lack of consistency from competitors. Relying on three-point shooting and speed in their gameplay, everything indicates they are one move away from achieving something significant.

And indeed, Boston Celtics could finalize a team competing for everything by adding a center with strong guarantees in rebounding, defense, and offense. While Queta and Garza are doing a good job, they fall short when it comes to contending for major competitive goals in the playoffs. It would not be surprising if the management of the Massachusetts team made an effort, trading for Simmons, to recruit a top-tier center. They might be facing an unexpected opportunity to compete for everything and pave the way for Tatum's return.
