Joined by Cody Chalifoux, we discuss if Boston missed out on Kevin Porter Jr and why they would have chosen not to pursue him. If Jonas Valanciunas would be a cheaper, more viable option the Vucevic, and if running Romeo Langford at the point could make sense for the second unit. We then end with some buy-out options who could make a short-term impact but aren't worth their current salaries. Learn...
