Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy hinted at exploring the offseason trade market on Monday. Kristaps Porzingis' uncertain future in Boston may have opened up an opportunity for the front office to do just that.

Fans on X (formerly known as Twitter) reacted to the report with excitement and saw a potential path for the 7-foot-3 Latvian to end up with the Golden State Warriors.

Trading Kristaps Porzingis could end up saving over $100 million for the Celtics in luxury tax payments. The Latvian big man failed to impress for the Celtics in 2025, struggling in the playoffs as the 2024 champions suffered a second round exit at the hands of the New York Knicks.
Even if he is traded, he will still be remembered as a beloved figure in Beantown, primarily for his tone-setting performance in Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals when he recorded 20 points, six rebounds, three blocks on 8-for-11 shooting.
In 99 games for the Celtics in his career, Kristaps Porziņģis has averaged 19.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocks.
New Orleans Pelicans emerge as suitors for Kristaps Porzingis
Among the teams with interest in Kristaps Porzingis, the New Orleans Pelicans have emerged as a key suitor.
With the front office under the leadership of new General Manager Joe Dumars, the Pelicans are at a crossroads, and will decide if they want to keep their core intact. Possessing the seventh and 23rd picks in the upcoming draft, they could put together a package for Porzingis centered around Herb Jones.
There are other enticing players on their roster with only Trey Murphy being considered an 'untouchable' asset. The 25-year-old forward put together an impressive season in 2024 averaging 21.2 points. His 4 year, $112 million contract is affordable and could allow the Pelicans to pursue names like Kristaps Porzingis.
