Boston Celtics: 2 Kristaps Porzingis trades that must be considered

Ever since the Boston Celtics lost their final outing of the year in Game 5 of their first-round bout against the Brooklyn Nets, they’ve seemingly been the talk of the NBA’s rumor mill.

Kicked off less than 24-hours into their offseason by the breaking news of Danny Ainge stepping down from his front office duties and, in his place as President of Basketball Operations, Brad Stevens would step on up, the Cs have been intertwined with the majority of big storylines from across the league.

Perhaps the most polarizing topic of discussion pertaining to Boston is their current situation with their fallen star, Kemba Walker, as it’s reported that the point guard is hurt by the rumors that the front office has been trying to trade him for the better part of the past year and, with this, is now looking for a way out of Beantown.

While many would welcome the departure, for his recent injury woes have made his once joyous signing back in the summer of 2019 now look like one of the worst contracts shelled out (4-years, $140 million), it must be understood that, because of how low his value has sunk, the 4x All-Star is not viewed across the league as a negative asset.

Because of this, it’s more than likely that, should the Boston Celtics actually wind up trading Kemba they’d have to either cough up some draft capital along with him or bring back a contract that is as bad, or close to as low of value as his.

Should the front office wind up going the latter route and bring on another bad contract simply to rid themselves of Walker’s, we at HH believe estranged Dallas Mavericks center, Kristaps Porzingis, could make a ton of sense as a swap option.

Today, in an effort to expand on this idea, we present to you 2 specific trades that involve the sixth-year big making his way to Beantown:
