Given the fact that star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has been playing at the level of a bona fide Most Valuable Player candidate so far this season and that Boston has defied the odds alongside him to claw their way up to the Eastern Conference&#8217;s third-place spot, there is a very strong case that they ought to be on the hunt for some talent to add to the roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The frontcourt stands out in particular as an area of need, with the Celtics needing a little bit of veteran experience and a different style of big man play to put next to blossoming young big man Neemias Queta.
