Weinbach said the Warriors have been looking for a big man in the market to open up space on the court, and it is reported that the Celtics plan to lower their luxury taxes this summer by reducing their salary expenditures.

According to the current situation, the Celtics' total salary expenditure next season will break the NBA record, and the salary + luxury tax is expected to exceed 500 million.

HoopsHype famous reporter Michael Scotto recently reported that several league executives believe that the Celtics will explore the trading market for center Porzingis, the Latvian star has one year left in his contract and his salary is US$30.73 million.
