On June 8, the NBA Finals will usher in G2 tomorrow! Earlier today, according to reporter Jake Weinbach, the Warriors are likely to pursue Celtics star Porzingis this summer, and the US media simulated a 4-for-1 trading plan.

famous journalist Jake Weinbach said that if the Celtics are willing to trade Porzingis, he expects the Warriors to become the real suitor for the Latvian center. Jake Weinbach noted that the Warriors have been looking for a big man in the market to open up space on the court, while the Celtics plan to lower their luxury taxes this summer by reducing their payroll.

It should be noted that according to the current situation, the Celtics' total salary expenditure next season will break the NBA record, and the salary + luxury tax is expected to exceed 500 million. Previously, it was reported that the Celtics would explore the trading market for center Porzingis, with one year left on his contract and a salary of $30.73 million, and was regarded by league executives as the number one trading candidate for the Celtics to cut their high spending next season.

In the regular season of the 2024-25 season, Porzingis played 42 games, averaged 28.8 minutes per game and scored 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks, shooting percentage was 48.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 41.2%, and free throw shooting percentage was 80.9%. In the playoffs, Porzingis played 11 times, averaged 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 21 minutes per game, 31.6%, three-point shooting percentage was 15.4%, and free throw shooting percentage was 68.9%.

In addition, the US media also simulated a trading plan, and the Warriors sent Moody, Hilder, TJD, and Santos to get Porzingis from the Celtics.

However, it should be noted that Porzingis did play the role of surprise in the Celtics' 2024 championship competition, but he performed poorly in this playoffs due to an unknown virus.
