The Celtics could use some frontcourt help, and are reportedly attempting to address that need by pursuing a trade for Washington forward Kristaps Porzingis, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Charania reported that the Celtics are in “strong talks” with the Wizards and Clippers about a three-team trade including Malcolm Brogdon.
The Celtics would acquire Porzingis, Brogdon would be sent to Los Angeles, and Washington would receive Marcus Morris plus draft compensation if the deal goes through according to Charania.
“I’m told Boston and Washington have been in discussions on a potential framework as Porzingis navigates the decision on his $36 million player option for next season,” Charania said.
