Could the Boston Celtics extend Latvian big man Kristaps Porzingis? Given his injury history and recent performance for the Celtics, it is understandable if fans of the team are not exactly enthusiastic about such a prospect. But is there any scenario such a move would actually make sense for not only Boston but Porzingis as well?
It seems unlikely given how much value the Celtics center has as an expiring contract that could get Boston entirely under the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)’s second apron and the brutal penalties it brings when a team is above it. Also, with both Al Horford and Luke Kornet being free agents, such a move might cause the Celtics to lose one or both despite being more productive and reliable options for Boston.
