Celtics are reshuffled this summer! Pozin s departure is inevitable, Jaylen White Holiday leaves at least two

On June 5, there is still one day before the finals begin. Earlier today, according to famous reporter Michael Scotto, the Celtics will face a major reshuffle this summer due to huge salary pressure, Porzingis will be sent away, and Holiday, Brown, White and others may also leave the team.

In this season's playoffs, the defending champion Celtics suffered a heavy blow, and the team's star Tatum suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon. In addition to being reimbursed in advance this season, he will almost miss the next 2025-26 season in its entirety. The team was also eliminated by the Knicks 4-2 in the semi-finals and missed the title. At the same time, the Celtics are also facing huge salary pressure.

Michael Scotto mentioned in the article that the Celtics management knew that considering the team's upcoming salary and luxury tax bills, there could be significant roster changes after the season. As Tatum suffered a rupture in the Achilles tendon, this confirmed that major changes in the lineup were inevitable. 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.

A league executive said: "The Celtics need to get rid of at least two high-paying contracts, otherwise they will face huge luxury tax problems. Tatum's injury makes them treat next year as a transition year, and try other players or young players."

Among them, the Celtics will explore the trading market for center Porzingis, who has one year left in his contract and his salary is $30.73 million. Porzingis, who has an expiring contract, is regarded by league executives as the number one trading candidate for the Celtics to cut their high salaries next season. Porzingis performed poorly in the playoffs due to an unknown virus.

famous speaker Sharp said when talking about the Celtics: "Two or three of Jaylen Brown, Holiday and White will be traded. Porzingis is the first domino, and he will be dealt with first. The Celtics have no chance, they can't win, Tatum is like this (referring to the extraordinary performance of G4) and lose to the Knicks. Without Tatum, how can the Celtics win, the Pacers cannot retreat next season."

White will turn 31 in July this year, and he has always attracted the interest of many teams in the league. However, the Celtics have rejected the team's trade inquiries about White, who signed a four-year, 125.9 million contract with the Celtics last year. Holiday is about to turn 35, and his contract has three years and $105 million left, of which the 2027-28 season is the player option. The outside defense champion has been associated with the Clippers and the Mavericks. Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown's salary will reach $53.14 million next season.
