The Boston Celtics are restructuring their team after trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers, aiming to reduce salary costs. Reports indicate that Kristaps Porzingis may also be traded, with the Spurs and Phoenix Suns showing interest. Porzingis' time in Boston has been troubled by injuries, limiting his impact despite a pivotal role in their recent championship victory. His contract situation makes him a viable trade candidate to help alleviate the Celtics' financial burden as they refresh their roster.
Even though Porzingis' arrival in Boston via trade in June 2023 played a key role in the Celtics' run to a title in 2024, the skilled big man's tenure with the Celtics has been marred by injury and illness.
The Spurs could be an appealing option for Porzingis, given San Antonio's desire to add some frontcourt depth around Victor Wembanyama.
I've also heard that Phoenix has done some background work on Kristaps Porziņģis with Boston known to be exploring its trade options up and down the roster.
The Boston Celtics broke up their championship lineup on Monday by reportedly trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers.
