The Celtics are working diligently to round out their roster and appear most interested in adding another forward.

T.J. Warren, Lamar Stevens, and Louis King spent time in Boston this week, meeting with the organization. What's intriguing about hosting this trio is they each have a different style of play, bringing dissimilar strengths to the table.

While the C's could choose from the other top options still available in free agency, they have two open full-time roster spots and must fill at least one by the start of the regular season.

They'll also look to do so while staying under the second apron. Boston is $4.2 million from crossing that threshold, per Spotrac.

According to Ian Begley of SNYtv, Glenn Robinson III is another player the Celtics are considering signing.

The Celtics recently had free agent Glen Robinson III in for a workout as they look to add to their roster, per league sources. Boston will also work out Louis King (per HoopsHype) & TJ Warren & Lamar Stevens (per The Athletic) this week. Boston has at least 2 open roster spots.

The seven-year veteran last played for the Kings, appearing in 23 games in the 2020-21 season. The 29-year-old forward, who's suited up for six NBA teams, has career averages of 5.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per contest.

Robinson, a career 37.3 percent three-point shooter, has proven effective from beyond the arc, albeit on low volume, launching 1.7 long-distance attempts.

He also has considerable bounce, evidenced when he won the NBA's Slam Dunk Contest in 2017.
