Ahead of the 2025-26 season, the Boston Celtics are facing a dilemma. They have a payroll of over $230 on the books for next year. NBA insiders anticipate the Celtics making a few trades to rid themselves of unwanted deals.
One player who’s been on the trade block since Boston’s season ended in the playoffs is Kristaps Porzingis. The 29-year-old has a $30 million cap hit in 2025-26. Several teams are expected to speak with Boston this offseason to see if they can trade for Porzingis. NBA insider Jake Fischer said the latest team to add itself to the mix is the Phoenix Suns.
