Ji Mengnian: The Celtics may continue to seek trades They hope to get salary flexibility & lineup depth

According to famous reporter Shams, the Celtics, the Hawks and the Nets finalized a three-party deal to send Porzingis + second round pick to the Hawks.

Ji Mengnian, a reporter from Sports Weekly, posted an article talking about the Celtics, and the content is as follows:

The Celtics sent Holiday and Porzingis away one after another, which should not be an unexpected result.

Compared to sending Holiday away, you can get two second rounds back, it is actually normal to send the Posses away without giving the draft pick. After all, Porzingis is an expiring contract, and there is an essential difference from Holiday.

The departure of Posses and Holiday helped the Celtics save 238 million yuan in expenditures, and now the team's overall salary has dropped below the second rich line. Regardless of whether Tatum is injured or not, no matter what the Celtics ended last season, this is something the Celtics have to face this summer.

Because it is obvious from last season that the former Super Six team has experienced huge declines in all aspects, and the league's pattern is also changing. The Celtics need athleticism and lineup depth, so changes must be made, and Tatum's injury accelerated the process.

At present, the Celtics may continue to seek trades. The flexibility at the cap space level, the depth of the lineup and the athletic ability are what Stevens and the Celtics hope to get. Therefore, don't underestimate these second round picks. The story of the Thunder and the Pacers tells us how important the depth of the lineup is now. The first round pick is rare and the salary is very high. Throwing the net in the second round pick may be a good direction to strengthen.
