Celtics could cut ties with $30 million superstar, bring in Warriors 4x champion

The Boston Celtics showed promise after a championship last season, but fell short due to the expectations put on their team.

After being eliminated from the playoffs in the second round by the New York Knicks, fans grew frustrated with some of the current pieces on the roster.

Jayson Tatum's injury was the spark of it all, and now that he is due to miss all of next season, the roster could be in for some reshaping.

Kristaps Porziņģis, a 7’2 floor-stretching center was a key piece to the Celtics' championship run back in 2024, but fans have started to have mixed feelings about the Latvian native.

His tendency to be injured is something Celtics fans are not used to, as Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum seem to be some of the most durable players in the league.

Stephen Curry and the Warriors have been without an above average center for almost their whole run these past 15 years.

Porziņģis could very well change that.

Throughout his career, he has been about a 20-point-per-game scorer, offering great rim protection as well, something the Dubs haven’t seen in the center spot in a long time.

It’s not just the Celtics who have been surrounded by rumors, players like Jonathan Kuminga have been made expendable also.

A trade consisting of Draymond Green as well as Jonathan Kuminga fits the salaries nicely, it would just depend on the rest of the details.

The Dubs would officially have a true center, and the Celtics could use the trade to buy them another year to figure out what direction they want to head in with star player Tatum out.
