The Boston Celtics are prepping for a potential offseason roster revamp, especially with the looming financial constraints imposed by the NBA's tax apron. Key player Kristaps Porzingis, who is set to earn $30.7 million, emerges as a prime trade candidate, though his injury history complicates his trade value. Despite concerns about his availability, Porzingis's expiring contract might attract interest from other teams.

Recent insights indicate that the Celtics might actually prefer to retain Porzingis, aiming to negotiate a long-term deal at a more favorable rate. If they indeed keep him, it could lead to the departure of other players such as Jrue Holiday, Sam Hauser, or Payton Pritchard, as the team looks to navigate under the tax restrictions.
