Boston Celtics alum Kendrick Perkins is impressed with his former team’s offseason

The Boston Celtics quickly worked to add to the roster that carried them within two wins of an NBA title in 2022. They added two starter-caliber players for very little cost in terms of rotation players and draft assets.

The Celtics added former Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon and veteran forward Danilo Gallinari, sending out vet big man Daniel Theis, reserve forward Aaron Nesmith, backup guard Nik Stauskas, three other players who seldom saw the floor and a protected first-round draft pick.

Only Theis saw floor time of significance in the postseason. While Nesmith has plenty of potential, he also would have fought an uphill battle to realize it in the Celtics’ crowded rotation.

ESPN analyst and Celtics alumnus Kendrick Perkins recently reacted to Boston’s offseason moves along with the rest of the “NBA Today” crew.

Watch the clip embedded above to see how they assessed it.
