US EditionCeltics still shopping players following Jrue Holiday trade, Kristaps Porzingis on trading block, per report
- On Monday night, the Boston Celtics traded guard Jrue Holiday away in a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, acquiring Anfernee Simons and two future second-round draft picks as part of an effort to lower their salary expenses.
- The trade was motivated by financial considerations, as Holiday is under contract for more than $67 million through 2027, but even after the move, Boston’s payroll stays roughly $18 million beyond the second luxury tax threshold.
- Following the trade, the Celtics continue engaged trade talks involving Kristaps Porzingis and possibly other supporting players to further alleviate salary-cap issues.
- NBA insider Windhorst indicated that the team will likely need to execute several additional transactions to free up the necessary salary cap space, highlighting ongoing adjustments to the roster.
- These moves suggest Boston plans a roster shift this offseason, focusing on financial flexibility while maintaining core stars like Jaylen Brown and Derrick White.
