Celtics reporter revealed: Refusing to trade Brown and White & only trading Boss and Zhu Holiday

On June 12, NBA Celtics reporter revealed that the team has received many calls from the league in recent years from Jaylen Brown and Derek White, and many of them have issued very high business terms, but they have directly refused. At present, the Celtics are only open to trading for players such as Porzingis, Ju Holiday, and Hauser.

Celtics management believes that the tragic elimination of the 2024-2025 playoffs was mainly affected by Tatum's injury, which has no big connection with Jaylen Brown's poor performance. The team will still form a championship lineup with the double-Tanhua core, and still believe that the Celtics are one of the best championship teams in the league.

It is reported that the Celtics have received very few offers from Zhu Holiday and Porzingis. On the one hand, it is estimated that the remaining large contracts are limited to the two, which are too large in salary space; on the other hand, many teams are very worried about Porzingis's injury risks. Although he won the championship with the Celtics, his attendance rate in the past two seasons is indeed pitiful, and Zhu Holiday is mainly due to his age and the value of the contract for the remaining three years.

29-year-old Porzingis plays as a center. He only played 42 games in the regular season of the 2024-2025 season, averaged 19.5 points + 6.8 rebounds + 2.1 assists + 0.7 steals + 1.5 blocks, shooting percentage of 48.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 41.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 80.0%. His glass man physique is an important obstacle to his trading.

34-year-old Zhu Holiday plays as a point guard. He played in a total of 62 games in the regular season of the 2024-2025 season, averaged 30.7 minutes per game, scored 11.1 points + 4.3 rebounds + 3.9 assists + 1.1 steals + 0.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.0%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90.0%. His role in both offense and defense in the game is far from being reflected by data.
