Despite the competition of the much better equipped Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks, the Celtics enter the new season with the intent to contend. However, while the Sixers and Bucks both have plenty of depth at center, the Celtics are left with Enes Kanter.

The Turkish center enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence during the 2019 playoffs with the Trail Blazers, although his vulnerability on the defensive end remains, and opposition teams will continue to target the former OKC man.

While Kanter would be a fine option from the bench, the Celtics have the likes of Tacko Fall jostling for game time - and it makes more sense to sign an outright replacement for the 27-year-old. Kanter is signed to a two-year, $8 million contract, which shouldn't be too difficult to move ahead of the trade deadline, and it's difficult to envision the center sticking around if the Celtics are in contention as the season progresses.
