The Celtics' offseason is destined to be calm. As the team's salary space becomes increasingly tight, the action of senior management to balance accounts is imminent. According to the latest news from MassLive senior team reporter Brian Robb, the team's core insider Christapus Porzingis has become the most likely key player in the eyes of the Celtics management. After in-depth analysis, Rob put forward a very topical potential trading framework, which instantly ignited the fans' discussion:

Los Angeles Lakers get: Christapus Porzingis

Boston Celtics get: Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber, Sheik Milton

This proposal is like a stone thrown into the calm lake, causing layers of ripples. Several affiliates confirmed to MassLive that the Celtics management faces arduous salary pressure this summer, and it is an open secret to seeking a deal to release space. Porzingis, which has both combat power and expiration contract attributes, naturally becomes the most operational core asset.

For the Celtics: The core attraction of this deal is "cost reduction and efficiency improvement". The big contract to send out Boss is exchanged for three players, Vincent (defensive defender), Klebel (space forward/center) and Milton (plug-and-play defender), and relatively friendly (or expiry) who have specific functions. This not only significantly alleviates salary pressure, but also injects new possibilities into lineup depth and flexibility. Kleber's outside firepower and Vincent's biting defense can theoretically seamlessly integrate into the Celtics' system.

For the Lakers: If

comes true, this is undoubtedly a "high risk and high return". If Porzingis can stay healthy, his elite-level inside offense and defense capabilities will greatly enhance the Lakers' penalty area height and firepower. Imagine that he and Davis form a double tower, or supporting the inside alone, can provide the Purple and Gold Legion with much-needed strategic upgrades. But the word "health" is always the sword of Damocles hanging above the head of the God of Wa.

The well-known sports reporter Mark Stein commented on social media: "The framework proposed by Rob accurately hits the most core demand of the Celtics - salary unraveling. Porzingis' ability is unquestionable, but the Celtics need to weigh whether to retain him to win the championship, or to decisively exchange blood to maintain financial health and lineup flexibility. "

At present, this is still at the level of media analysis and speculation, and is far from a foregone conclusion. The Celtics management is expected to evaluate multiple offers, and the Lakers are just one of the potential next players. Porzingis's player option of up to $30 million next season (expected execution) gives him a certain initiative.

With the curtain of offseason coming to an end, how the Celtics deal with the star's inside has become the league's most watched financial puzzle. The Lake Kai trade concept proposed by Rob, whether it is finally going to be a success or not, has clearly revealed that for the sustainability of the championship map, the Celtics' senior management is seriously considering making changes, and the future of Porzingis is at the center of this storm.
