Adding former-Celtic, Jae Crowder, to the Milwaukee ranks certainly didn't help the Celtics future fortunes in the playoffs, and Goran's addition just may prompt Brad Stevens to find the "right guy" he has mentioned mto filling the vacant slot.
And it seems that the "right guy" needs to be more than just a locker presence. He needs to be a veteran that can play significant minutes in the post-season - and contribute.
