Boston are adding some more size to the roster after beating the Philadelphia 76ers without Al Horford and Robert Williams, adding another player capable of spreading the floor and knocking down the three.

The Celtics still have some more moves to make, and if they do not move on from Danilo Gallinari, the team will have the Disabled Player Exception of $3.23 Million to offer any player that may hit the buyout market as trades come to a close.
