NBA trade destinations for KP: Boston Celtics

It’s no secret the Boston Celtics are looking to be buyers at this season’s deadline. The Celtics have desperately needed some size added to their team for the past couple of seasons now.

Defensively, Porzingis would have to step it up for it to work perfectly in Boston, but the Celtics could use his ability to spread the floor and open things up for superstars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

The tricky part will be what all would Boston be willing to give up to get the 25-year-old big. Bill Simmons mentioned an interesting trade machine trade on his podcast recently, a swap between the two teams that involved Kemba Walker and Porzingis.

The Celtics do have a $28.5 million dollar trade exception that they have to play with as well as a slue of young players they can dangle in front of Dallas.
