The big question: what’s next for Boston’s frontcourt
Outside of Jayson Tatum’s injury, the uncertainty of the big man situation is arguably the most noteworthy offseason topic to monitor.
Boston’s top three centers each have a question mark looming over their future with the team. Al Horford and Luke Kornet are unrestricted free agents, and Kristaps Porzingis’ name is lit up on the trade block like an LED bar sign.
There is a nonzero chance that each big man is off the roster by the start of next season. That would leave a hole of over 4,000 center minutes for Boston to fill. It’s certainly a dramatic possibility, but the likelihood is about as high as it is for all three to return.
