In this projected lineup, Boston would play two big man together with Kornet at the five and Porzingis as a four that can shoot from deep. Porzingis originally was drafted as a power forward and played that position for the Knicks. Kornet has shown promise in key minutes for the Celtics and could take on a larger role.

The Trail Blazers got Jrue Holiday again, and this time, they plan to keep the two-time NBA champion as part of their roster.

While the trade makes sense, it did elicit an 8-word response for noted Celtics fan Bill Simmons, the owner of The Ringer. A simple thank you.
