Exploring two potential trade partners for the Boston Celtics and Kristaps Porzingis
Exploring two potential trade partners for the Boston Celtics and Kristaps Porzingis
Entering the final year of his two-year, $60 million contract, Kristaps Porzingis is widely viewed as a potential trade candidate for the Boston Celtics. The talented big man has struggled for health throughout his tenure on Joe Mazzulla's team, and with Jayson Tatum ruled out for the foreseeable future, now could be the perfect time to begin looking elsewhere.
When healthy, Porzingis is still one of the most talented centers in the NBA. He's an elite rim protector, floor spacer and post scorer. He can also attack off the drive, work out of the dunker spot, and fill multiple roles on defense. You can't rely on him to be in the rotation when you need him most.
During a recent episode of the "How 'Bout Them Celtics" podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance broke down two potential landing spots for Porzingis, should the Celtics decide to trade him. Simone and LaFrance discussed the pros and cons of each potential destination, while also touching on what each trade package could look like.

Steven Adams attributes Rockets' improved playoff offense to faster pace, ball movement
Houston's 'double big' lineups featuring Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams are usually bigger than their opponent, but that doesn't mean the Rockets have to play slower. In Friday's Game 6 victory at Golden State, which tied the best-of-seven, first-round playoff series at three games apiece, Adams played a season-high 31 minutes off the bench. Advertisement And yet, the Rockets had 99 possessions as a team versus the Warriors — a significant increase from a series-long average of 93.9 (including just 89 in a Game 1 loss). After averaging 95.7 points in the first three games of the series (two losses), Houston is scoring at a per-game average of 117.3 points over its last three (two wins). In an exclusive postgame interview with SportsTalk 790's Matt Thomas, play-by-play radio broadcaster for the Rockets, Adams stressed the importance of pace. When asked what had changed since two losses at Golden State earlier in the series, Adams responded: We trusted our execution, we trusted our defense, and that's what we're relying on. We're moving the ball. We're not slowing down, and I think that's the main thing. We need to keep the pace up. We've always been a fast-paced team and we can't let teams slow us down. Adams finished with a season-high 17 points in Game 6, making all four of his field-goal attempts and 9-of-16 from the free-throw line (56.3%). That free-throw percentage was well above Adams' 40.5% clip over his previous two NBA seasons (2022-23 and 2024-25) combined, and he attributed the improvement to the repetition that resulted from Golden State's intentional fouling (or hacking) strategy. 'I just need some reps, bro,' Adams told Thomas. Advertisement With Adams in a featured Game 7 role, the Rockets will look to complete their comeback and become just the 14th team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 deficit in a playoff series. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. Central on Sunday night, with televised game broadcasts available on TNT and Space City Home Network. Thomas will have the radio call on SportsTalk 790 and across the team's radio network.

3 early Minnesota Timberwolves NBA free agency targets in 2025 offseason
The post 3 early Minnesota Timberwolves NBA free agency targets in 2025 offseason appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Minnesota Timberwolves made their first NBA Western Conference Final appearance last year, a milestone the franchise had not achieved in its 34 years of existence. This time around, they managed to defeat a couple big-name teams in the West and were playing their second consecutive conference finals, but failed to cross the final hurdle in the face of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Advertisement The NBA offseason has begun for several teams, and the Timberwolves are also looking to explore options to improve their roster around the former No. 1 pick, Anthony Edwards, who has established himself as the face of the franchise by galvanizing his teammates and bringing an unmatched energy to the Timberwolves fans. However, even with Edwards running the offence, there were some shortcomings of the team as a whole, whose roster was built for the postseason, but they came up short against the Thunder, which exposed a few of the team's weaknesses. Even the Timberwolves have some of the key players in the free agency, like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Julius Randle, and Naz Reid, both have player options except Alexander-Walker, who might be the first one to leave. Then again, after three decades of almost complete nothingness to begin the franchise's history, this is a good problem to have. 'Not quite' is far more palatable than 'nowhere near.' Timberwolves 2025 NBA free agency targets Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Timberwolves) Re-signing Alexander-Walker will be one of the top priorities for the Timberwolves, as he has become one of the key rotation players of the team in recent years. This past season was his best in Minnesota, as he averaged 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 44% from the field and 38% from long range. Advertisement The only issue in re-signing Alexander-Walker will be the looming second apron. Alexander-Walker is projected to get $14-20 million on his next deal, and the Wolves might not have the cash. Chris Paul (San Antonio Spurs) Chris Paul is one of the best point guards in the NBA currently and has been one of the top names for the past few years. His ball-handling ability in the paint and the vision to make plays in traffic is something that the Timberwolves desperately need when Edwards is not on the court. Chris Paul would also complement players like Randle and Gobert if he decides to come to Minnesota. Paul averaged 8.8 points, 7.4 assists — seventh in the league — and 3.6 rebounds per game, and played in all 82 games for the Spurs. He is one of those players who are edging to the end of their careers, but Paul still has some gas left in the tank and could act as a mentor for the younger players on the team. Tyus Jones (Phoenix Suns) Phoenix Suns guard Tyus Jones is one feasible option for the Timberwolves, as he is still young and can be developed alongside Edwards. Meanwhile, he averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game this season, all lower than his numbers from the year prior, but the Suns were a disaster. Advertisement Jones has good ball-handling skills and does not allow unforced turnovers easily. He signed a one-year deal with the Suns a season prior to this one and can help the Timberwolves trade lightly with the second tax apron. Who stays, who goes: Timberwolves' pending free agents The Timberwolves need to nail this offseason as they need to balance the incoming and outgoing players. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Julius Randle, and Naz Reid, all key players, could be released before next season as the Timberwolves try to juggle financial issues. Other players like Joe Ingles, Jesse Edwards, Bones Hyland, and Tristen Newton are in free agency. The financial complications for the Timberwolves might not allow them to sign blockbuster players, and they might have to settle with players who can free up their wage bill.

Former Boston big man Guerschon Yabusele on season with 76ers, stint with Celtics
Former Boston big man Guerschon Yabusele on season with 76ers, stint with Celtics Former Boston Celtics big man Guerschon Yabusele returning to the NBA last season was one of the best comebacks of the season, and fans of the Dancing Bear were happy to see him back in the league. But the moment was not lost on the French forward after a half-decade spent playing abroad, and wondering if he might get another crack at the Association. "I think the main thing for me when I decided to go back to the NBA was to enjoy this time," said Yabu in a recent interview with the Basketball Network. "Because the first time when it stopped, I didn't realize it stopped that fast, but when it did, it took me five years to come back." "So I really decided the main thing was to go over there to enjoy it, to really gain experience and try to get better. I was happy that I was able to perform," he added, alluding to his season with the Philadelphia 76ers. "Obviously, that's not the season that everybody thought we would have at the beginning of the season." How Yabusele sees last season with the Sixers "Injuries are part of the game," offered the Philly big man. "You've got to learn and try to get back to it and get better. I think having Joel (Embiid) back, Paul George, this is going to be big for us. And when we had those guys, and we had that run, we felt that we could beat everybody." "That was really interesting, to have that part of the season, because at least people know that if they (were) healthy, that would have been a different scenario," suggested Yabusele. On how he stayed motivated in his limited run with Boston "Everybody has got to understand that it's hard, first of all (...)," he explained. "I remember ... I was playing a lot of minutes ... in France and in China, so my whole life I play minutes, so going for playing let's say like 20 minutes to zero minutes, it's a shock. So my first season, I had to to go through this and and it's pretty hard. It was hard for me to find the balance mentally because you you have a lot of questions." "Especially (because) I was drafted in first round at 16, but also also it comes from having the the right people around you that keep you motivated. You don't want to have somebody that asks you the question, 'Why don't you play?,'" said Yabusele. "You want somebody to just say, 'You know what, keep working, it's going to come.'" "I remember for me, we had a couple of guys in my situation. We had Semi Ojeleye, Daniel Theis, Shane Larkin, Abdul Nader. So we had a couple of guys that we could, let's say, help each other (...) I got so much experience from that because I was lucky enough to be with the Celtics, and we made the conference finals two years in a row." What's next for the Dancing Bear It remains to be seen what the future holds for Yabusele with his deal with Philly last season for just a single season. But with the way he played for a decimated Sixers squad, he doesn't expect to return to Europe -- nor should he, with 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game having been logged with Philadelphia in 2024-25. "My plan is to try to get another contract in the NBA," said the former Boston forward in an interview with Basketnews. "I don't want to lie. "But I do keep an eye on the EuroLeague for sure, just to see how it's going, what the level is like."
