As the NBA offseason approaches, trade rumors are heating up, particularly around the Boston Celtics, who may delay their moves until February as they assess their roster following Jayson Tatum’s injury. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings are actively looking for a point guard after moving on from De’Aaron Fox, eyeing potential players including Jrue Holiday, Marcus Smart, and Malcolm Brogdon.

Celtics Might Be Patient This Offseason

After Jayson Tatum suffered a significant Achilles injury during the playoffs, Boston’s strategy has shifted towards careful salary management. Reports indicate that the Celtics may opt to retain players like Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday into the season, looking to make more strategic moves as the trade deadline approaches.

“They do not seem desperate to offload players, indicating a potential for trade talks extending into the regular season,” noted NBA insider Jake Fischer.

Kings Seeking a Playmaker

Ironically, Sacramento is searching for a face of the franchise point guard, finding themselves in a position where they previously had both Tyrese Haliburton and De’Aaron Fox. They are exploring options on the trade market, but their choices are limited compared to their former stars. With the draft on the horizon, the Kings hope to find an ideal fit before the upcoming season begins.
