The Boston Celtics are reportedly interested in signing free agent center Kevon Looney as part of their efforts to strengthen the roster for the upcoming season. The team believes that acquiring a center could have changed their fortunes last season against the Philadelphia 76ers, specifically in generating offense in the paint. Looney, a three-time NBA Champion, spent last season with the New Orleans Pelicans after a lengthy stint with the Golden State Warriors. He averaged 7 rebounds during his peak seasons but had a modest performance last year. The Celtics' list of potential center targets also includes former player Robert Williams III.
