Kristaps Porzingis might’ve been my favorite player ever to cover. Kept it real, was hilarious & always quick/willing to talk. Will always appreciate that! – 10:19 PM

Porzingis to Atlanta! Brooklyn grabs No. 22 for Terance Mann. Boston dodges the second apron. Breakdown of the trade and what’s next for ATL and BRK. Plus: our final 2025 Draft Boards. Use code mockoffseason2025 for 35% off your first year duncdon.supportingcast.fm – 8:49 PM

So Atlanta has Trae-Dyson-Risacher-Jalen-Porzingis-Okongwu-No. 13 pick, plus around $28 million below the tax with a $25 million trade exception from the Dejounte Murray deal.
That’s pretty interesting in a weak East provided KP stays healthy. – 8:02 PM

Trey Kerby @treykerby
Celtics were never able to figure out why Porzingis was sick last season so they traded him to the CDC. – 7:13 PM

Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
The Sixers tie to this Porzingis trade: every chunk taken out of Brooklyn’s cap space is another step towards Quentin Grimes not having any restricted free agency market above the non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception. Sixers fans should be rooting for more Nets salary dump trades. – 7:08 PM

Trading Kristaps Porzingis now puts Boston under the second apron.
The Porzingis and Jrue Holiday trades save Boston a projected $180M in tax penalties. – 6:52 PM

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
The Atlanta Hawks have emerged a serious trade suitor for Boston’s Kristaps Porziņģis, league sources tell @JakeLFischer and me.
Jake reported earlier today that San Antonio has likewise registered trade interest in Porziņģis.

Money matching in a SAS-BOS Porzingis trade: Barnes + 1 of Sochan/Branham/Wesley.
Johnson + Sochan.
Johnson + 2 of Branham/Wesley/Champagnie.
All are on 1yr deals except Johnson (2yrs, $35M). Champagnie has a $3M ‘27 team option. Trades would save BOS ~$6-7M. – 12:28 PM

Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto
With Jrue Holiday to the Blazers for Anfernee Simons and 2 seconds, the next Celtics trade candidates to monitor are Kristaps Porzingis (expiring $30.7 million) and Sam Hauser (4 years, $45 million). Derrick White has drawn trade interest, but it’d take a massive haul to get him. – 12:39 AM
