The C's could still target front court help via the NBA draft, though. Fab Melo is one of just a few big men the Celtics could go after.

NESN.com NBA writer Ben Watanabe discussed the Celtics' potential draft strategy, Kevin Garnett's future, Avery Bradley's status and more in his most recent Twitter Q&A.

Check out all of the fun in the transcript below.
