Three big men that can help the Celtics

After exceeding expectations during the regular season, the Boston Celtics ultimately fell short, underperforming in a seven-game series loss to the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers.   The disappointing end to the season brings renewed scrutiny to the roster, but it also shifts attention to the organization’s financial positioning.
