Kristaps Porzingis will join the Boston Celtics under the most difficult of circumstances. Not only are the Celtics reeling from an Eastern Conference Finals heartbreaker at the hands of the Miami Heat. But Brad Stevens used one of the team’s most beloved players to bring Porzingis in.
Now, Porzingis will have to win the fanbase over.
Boston’s roster is the most talented group of players Porzingis has likely ever played with. Yes, the Dallas Mavericks had Luka Doncic, but their depth paled in comparison to what the Celtics have. The biggest challenge will be figuring out how to ensure Porzingis fits with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
