The Celtics, Clippers and Wizards are reportedly discussing a three-team trade that would send Kristaps Porziņģis to Boston, Marcus Morris and draft compensation to Washington and Malcolm Brogdon to Los Angeles, according to The Athletic’s Sham Charania.
Charania previously reported that Boston and Washington have been in discussion about a potential “framework” for a deal with Porziņģis, who has a $36 million player option for the 2023–24 NBA season. As of now, all sides are still working through details and Porziņģis’s player option, according to Charania.
Porziņģis is coming off one of the best seasons in his eight-year career, in which he averaged career highs in points per game (23.2) and field goal percentage (49.8%). While the Latvian big man has a track record of injuries, he also played in 65 games during the 2022–23 campaign, the third-highest amount in any single season of his career.
