Kristaps Porzingis’s name has been floated as a potential trade option for the Celtics.
With the team’s payroll being deep into the luxury tax, Boston could be looking to cut costs, especially as Jayson Tatum‘s availability for next season is not yet known.
Of the Celtics’ five starters, all of whom are scheduled to make at least $28 million next season, Porzingis and Jrue Holiday seem to have been coming up the most in trade rumors.
Porzingis missed 40 of the Celtics’ 82 regular-season games this past season, and struggled with illness during the playoffs.
