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, 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 four-year, $112 million contract is affordable and could allow the Pelicans to pursue names like Kristaps Porzingis.
