The Boston Celtics are going to be one of the teams in the NBA that make a lot of changes in the offseason. They are going to try to shed a lot of salary, so that means changing at least two starters.

This differs from reports earlier that the Celtics might need to attach draft assets to get off of Holiday's considerable remaining salary.

It's better to take the gamble and keep Porzingis, seeing first-hand how he helped the Celtics win a championship in 2024. KP only has one year left on his contract anyway, so it's a low-risk move to keep him on the roster. Jrue Holiday has a much longer contract and is five years older the Porzingis.
