The Boston Celtics were energetic in reshaping their roster for the nearest NBA season, making a vital three-team industry to obtain Washington Wizards bulky guy Kristaps Porzingis life sending Marcus Intriguing to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Retain bulky guy Luke Kornet, alternatively, is judged to be the most important loser on this roster overhaul in a contemporary article through Bleacher Document’s Zach Buckley (h/t Weighty’s Adam Taylor).
“After shattering his previous career-high with 69 appearances this past season, Kornet’s outlook took a turn for the worse,” Buckley wrote. “His $2.4 million salary for next season is non-guaranteed, and the Celtics may not want to shoulder that expense for someone who would be their fourth-best center.”
“It’s still possible Kornet sticks around. Boston’s other bigs have concerns in terms of injuries (Porzingis, Robert Williams III) and aging (37-year-old Al Horford),” the B/R analyst added.
“Even then, though, the Celtics could decide Kornet’s roster spot would be better served by adding depth somewhere it doesn’t have three starting-caliber players already.”
