The defending champion enters the countdown to reshuffle, actively selling three generals, the Lakers and Warriors intervene in the negotiations

After losing 2-4 to the Knicks in the playoffs, the defending champion Celtics stopped here as a team that paid the highest luxury tax in the league this season, and missed the season's defense, which caused the team's management to be extremely disappointed. At this stage, the team is preparing to adjust its pattern. The only lineup in the league with the salary of five starting players all reaching 100 million yuan, which is really burdened. In addition, regardless of players, the overall performance has been significantly downward trend this season, and the team has begun to open the trading door!

Zhu Holiday!

1. Starting point guard Zhu Holiday, as a top-level high-quality back line with offense and defense, made his mark in the Pelicans at the beginning of his career. He later traded until the Bucks won the first NBA championship in his career, and then won the championship trophy in his first season with the Celtics. Holiday's career is perfect. With his unremitting efforts and both offense and defense, he has won the value he deserves. Currently, Holiday's contract is in the second year of 134 million in four years. It will expire in the 2028 offseason. He has played in 62 games this season, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks per game. The Celtics also saw its hideous performance in the playoffs and will clearly listen to the trading chips of other teams waiting for an opportunity!

Porzingis!

2. The team started the inside line Porzingis. As a white tall player, Porzingis gained a foothold in the league with good long-range shooting, but his biggest disadvantage is that his offense is strong and weak defense. This season, he had an injury impact. He played only 42 games, averaging 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. However, his performance in the playoffs was simply terrible. In the semi-finals against the Knicks, he scored single digits in every game, and he couldn't open the offensive end, and he was not good at defense. In the end, he was replaced by veteran Horford. He averaged only 15 minutes of playing time. He could not stand the tough battle and was basically abandoned by the team. The current trading news about Porzingis was also full of storms!

Hauser!

3. The team's substitute striker Sam Hauser, as an ordinary rotation player, performed well during the team's championship last season. The team offered him a four-year, 45 million contract. The contract is in the second year. This season, he played for the team and averaged 8.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. As Hauser, who has entered the league for four seasons, has played for the Celtics. At present, the team has clearly stated that it will actively sell Hauser through transaction negotiations!

The defending champion in the offseason shows that big moves will surely take place, carrying the highest luxury tax in the league. The team will definitely trade teams on the basis of the original Double Tanhua framework to reduce the total salary to avoid paying high luxury taxes. The Celtics next season will also usher in earth-shaking changes!
