Overview

• Boston is evaluating a potential trade of Kristaps Porzingis after his injury-plagued season left his long-term fit in doubt.
• All-Star guard Jrue Holiday is considered a trade candidate, with the Knicks, Timberwolves and Clippers emerging as speculative suitors.
• Holiday’s roughly $104 million, three-year contract and looming luxury tax hits under the new agreement complicate any deal.
• Boston has identified Utah’s young center Walker Kessler as a cost-effective replacement option if Porzingis is moved.
• Financial constraints from the CBA and Jayson Tatum’s recent Achilles injury are accelerating the Celtics’ offseason decision-making.
