The Boston Celtics are reportedly exploring trade possibilities for Kristaps Porzingis as they aim to alleviate salary cap constraints before the upcoming season.
As noted by HoopsHype, multiple NBA officials suggest that the franchise may investigate options involving the Latvian center, who has a contract worth $30.73 million, extending through the 2025–26 season.
“Boston needs to move at least two significant contracts, or they’ll face significant tax repercussions,” an NBA executive shared with HoopsHype. “With Tatum hurt, next year could serve as a transitional phase to test other players or younger talents.”
Porzingis played a crucial role in the Celtics’ journey toward the championship but faced limitations during the playoffs due to an undisclosed illness.
Given the impending luxury tax challenges, Boston is likely to consider trade arrangements involving the 28-year-old center as part of a larger strategy to reshape its team and financial outlook.
