The fact that he’ll be a RFA is why I had been in favor of trying to acquire him at the trade deadline. As a RFA, the path bringing him to Boston would be more complicated. 

10. Walker Kessler

Walker Kessler might fly under the free-agent radar for most fans, but he could wind up being one of the best values on the board. 

Kessler played only five games this past year before a torn labrum prematurely ended his season. In those five games, he averaged 14.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 blocks in only 30.8 minutes per outing while shooting 6-of-8 from deep.

Kessler is hardly a long-range sniper—he's hit only 17 triples across his four-year NBA career—but his ability to knock down an occasional triple at this early stage of his career bodes well for his long-term development. In the meantime, he's a 7-foot-2 rim-protecting, rebound-gobbling big man who would be a welcome fit on any team in need of a center.

Restricted free agency may limit his payday this summer, but don't be surprised if some team tries to drive up the price on him in hopes of prying him away from the Jazz.

The Celtics would continue to load up on the white NBA players.

Simply an observation which is so counter to how they led the way with all their black players / Russell as coach.
