Who wins and who loses? Porzingis trade, the Celtics are the gods, what are the Eagles doing?
2:08am, 29 June 2025【Basketball】
In less than 24 hours, the Celtics were dispatched again.
The latest report from famous reporter Shams, the Celtics and the Hawks and the Nets reached a three-party deal. Specific details:
-The Hawks got Porzingis + second round pick (from the Celtics, the lower one in 2026)
-The Celtics got Nian + second round pick (from the Hawks, the Cavaliers' second round in 2031)
-The Nets got Terence Mann + No. 22 (from the Hawks)
Let's talk first, the transaction is not surprising. What we said before in the Holiday trade that if the original lineup is maintained, the total salary and luxury tax of the Celtics next season will reach an astonishing $513 million, so even if you win the championship this year, the core lineup is likely to be unable to be kept.
It was not surprising that the trading of Porzingis was not surprising. The latter performed poorly this year in the playoffs, with a total of 11 games, averaged only 21 minutes per game, scored 7.4 points and 4.6 rebounds, shooting percentage of 31.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 15.4%, and real shooting percentage of only 43.0%.
Porzingis was a disaster in the second round against the Knicks. He scored 0 points, 8 points, 5 points, 7 points, 1 point and 4 points in 6 games, averaging only 4.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 24.0%, and three-point shooting percentage of 22.2%.
According to Shams' report at the time: Porzingis was infected with an unknown virus in March, and there were still sequelae in the playoffs, which caused his energy to be severely drained, and his whole body became very weak. He had to rely on a lot of sleep, get some drip, and use immune enhancers.
Until the end of the Celtics' season, it was not completely confirmed which virus Porzingis encountered, but one thing is certain, due to poor playoff performance and the Celtics' salary issues, Porzingis will definitely leave this summer, and it is difficult to leave with a real asset status.
There are two things that surprised us:
First, the Celtics were moving too fast, less than 48 hours before the Thunder won the championship. Before the draft began, they sent away the two players who were most likely to be traded;
Second, the Celtics not only did not make a first round, but even got Simmons, Nian, and the other GMs in the league. They learned how Stevens operated. The problem that fans racked their brains to solve was easily resolved.
only talks about this three-party transaction, and whoever makes a profit or loses, it is quite obvious now.
-For the Celtics, by sending Porzingis away, the Celtics saved 170 million in luxury taxes. With the Holiday transaction, the Celtics saved a total of 238 million in expenditures, including 210 million in luxury taxes. The current total salary is US$4.5 million below the second tyrant line.
The Celtics are successful in avoiding taxes without spending a first-round pick, and they also got two second-round picks and Nyan, who averaged 12.1 points + 2.7 three-pointers per game during his time with the Hawks this season, with a 41.3% three-point shooting percentage.
In the past seven seasons, Nian has made more than 40% of three-point shooting percentage in six seasons, and the Celtics is a team that relies on three-pointers. Combined with the operation of Anfini Simmons, it seems that it can be explained: although he lost to three-pointers this season, the Celtics do not think this is a wrong strategy, and Nian's arrival seems to be preparing for the Hauser deal, and the Celtics' operations are not over yet.
—For the Nets, they used their salary space to take over Mann's contract and then made a first-round pick. Note that the Nets will have five first rounds this year, with the picks being 8, 19, 22, 26 and 27 respectively (whether you consider Yang Hansen?).
Let me talk about Mann. The contract was given by the Clippers. It was just signed in the offseason last year, with 47 million in three years. However, it was traded by the Clippers to the Hawks in the first year of its effectiveness. His contract was a bit premium.
However, the performance of the Hawks during the game seems to make people see some differences: they averaged 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting percentage of 54.1%, and 38.6% from three-point shooting percentage. If they can maintain this level, the Nets will definitely make a profit.
——For the eagle, I can only say that it is worthy of being an eagle.
The Hawks' two operations before the deadline, Hunter exchanged for Leville + Nian + 3 rounds, and Bogdan + 3 rounds to Mann. Both deals were quite complained. Hunter, who averaged 19 points per game, did not change to a first round, and even took three rounds to send Bogdan away.
Then, now I took another first round and second round to send Mann away, and got... Porzingis?
All I can think of is that the Hawks think that Porzingis is still a positive asset, which is not without basis. After all, Porzingis's performance in the playoffs is too abnormal. Just looking at the regular season, his performance is actually not bad.
Average 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.3%/41.2%/80.9% in three events, and a real shooting percentage of 61.8%. Considering that the Celtics have many scoring points, it is very good to maintain a data of nearly 20+.
The focus is on defense. Porzingis's frame protection ability is still top-notch, with an average of 16.3 shots per game, with a reduction rate of 6.2%, of which the reduction rate of 10 feet in the inside is 12.9%. With Daniels, Jaylen Johnson and others, the internal and external defensive system has begun to be established.
But are the Eagles too optimistic about Porzingis' injury situation? Not to mention the sequelae of the virus, Porzingis has only played 57 games and 42 games in the past two seasons. Even though he won the championship last year, he only played 7 games in the playoffs..
If Porzingis in the contract year can be as healthy as the Wizards in the last year (65 games) and break out, the Eagles' deal may slap many people in the face, but if Porzingis cannot recover or cannot be healthy, the Eagles may have been in vain again.
Finally, when I returned to the Celtics, I still admire Stevens.
When the coach was able to play for many years, three of them reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and when GM operated decisively and magically, he sent Smart away from the high point, welcomed Holiday and Porzingis, and brought the 18th championship to the Celtics. Now he has not spent a first-round pick to send these two away.
Of course, there are problems. The latest news is that Holiday is dissatisfied with going to the Trail Blazers and not being notified one day in advance. In addition, sending away the two champion cores also made the locker room feel a little depressed - there is nothing to say, business is like this, it is not surprising that it has come from the Anji era. After all, this is the Celtic.
