<p>Kristaps Porzingis will play the upcoming 2023-2024 NBA season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-celtics-already-working-to-help-jayson-tatum-jaylen-brown-with-another-all-star-20230621-BUS-15118.html">Boston Celtics</a>, they hope that with him on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-the-knicks-have-already-made-a-decision-about-josh-harts-future-20230625-BUS-17484.html">roster </a>the franchise can go further, especially after last season they lost the Conference Finals against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-damian-lillard-and-potential-targets-for-the-miami-heat-20230613-BUS-10169.html">Miami Heat </a>3-4.</p>



<p>The 2022 season was good for the Celtics but they lacked an extra player to help Jayson Tatum who had a performance like never before but some of his teammates like Jaylen Brown didn’t help him as much as he expected.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230625#BUS#17484"></div>


<p>Porzingis career was projected to be one of the best for a European player in the NBA but so far he has played only 10 playoff games after a little over 7+ years playing in the NBA.</p>



<h2>When will the Celtics pay Kristaps Porzingis?</h2>



<p>According to reports by reporter Brian Robb and writing by Marc Stein, <strong>the Celtics could offer Porzingis a 2-year extension valued at $77m</strong>, but they would have to appeal since Porzingis opted for his player option at $36m.</p>

<p>Porzingis played three seasons for the <strong>Knicks from 2015 to 2018, another three seasons for Dallas from 2019 to 2022, and the last two seasons for Washington from 2021 to 2023</strong>. The good news for the Celtics is that he can play Center and PF.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong> have once again proven to be one of the most dangerous teams in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>, but they still have work to do to get where they want. This year, it looked like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayson-tatum">Jayson Tatum</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaylen-brown">Jaylen Brown</a></strong> could have used more help.</p>



<p>Both of them have blossomed into stars before their eyes, and even though they couldn’t deliver a championship yet, they seem to be <strong>in the right direction</strong>. However, that doesn’t mean Boston should leave everything as it is right now.</p>



<p>This team <strong>can still improve</strong>, the Celtics can certainly try and make moves to upgrade the roster. According to Shams Charania, they are working on a three-team trade to land <strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong>.</p>



<h2>Report: Celtics in talks to pair Kristaps Porzingis with Tatum, Brown</h2>



<p>“<em><strong>Sources: Wizards, Celtics and Clippers are in strong talks on a trade that would send Kristaps Porzingis to Boston, Marcus Morris and draft compensation to Washington and Malcolm Brogdon to Los Angeles. Sides are still working through details and Porzingis’ $36M player option</strong></em>,” Shams wrote on Twitter.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230620#BUS#14546"></div>




<p>Porzingis would definitely be an interesting addition for the Celtics. Besides, they wouldn’t be giving up that much in return. After all, the last two seasons suggest Boston needs to make adjustments <strong>if it wants to get the job done</strong>.</p>

NBA Rumors: Celtics already working to help Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown with another All-Star

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a> </strong>shocked the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> world when they traded for <strong>Kristaps Porzingi</strong>s. That duo with<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luka Doncic</a></strong> had the potential to be <strong>historically great</strong>, and the early returns were quite encouraging.</p>
<p>But then, rumors of an alleged feud between the two young stars, plus Porzingis’ never-ending injury woes, forced the Mavs’ hands to<strong> part ways with the Latvian big man</strong> after just a couple of seasons.</p>
<p>So, now that the time has gone by and he’s been able to look back and think about it,<strong> the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-wizards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Wizards</a> star</strong>believes he was to blame for the early end to that promising pairing, claiming that there are no hard feelings towards the organization at all.</p>
<h2>Kristaps Porzingis Takes The Blame For Not Figuring Things Out With Luka Doncic</h2>
<p><em><strong>“I was having fun. I was doing my thing, I was having fun. It just wasn’t the perfect situation,”</strong></em> Porzingis said on The Ariel Helwani Basketball Show. <em>“I thought so too, for sure. Yeah, I don’t know.<strong> We never played up to that level. And a lot of it’s on me. I could have played better; I think we had glimpses before the bubble and during the bubble where I played at a high level and things were clicking and working well with Luka.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>“Then I got hurt in the bubble and after that, there were a lot of things, but I look at what I could have done better,”</em> Porzingis added. <em><strong>“I can criticize myself looking back. I wasn’t moving as well defensively; my rhythm wasn’t good at parts of the season. I wasn’t playing at the level I was playing at now.</strong> Overall, I think sooner or later, [the trade from Dallas] was going to be the result.”</em></p>
<p><em>“They always treated me good. They always treated me well, and I wish, truly, everybody in the organization the best,”</em> continued Porzingis.<strong><em>“Great people, were perfect with me. I only want good things for them. Even if they did me wrong, I would wish them good things. Nothing but the best things to say about Dallas.”</em></strong></p>

<p>Porzingis got a career revival with the Wizards before suffering even more injuries, and fans will always wonder how far he and Doncic could’ve gotten<strong> if they had kept them together for a little longer.</strong></p>

<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Potential All-Star Likely To Be Snubbed</h2>
<h3>3. Kristaps Porzingis</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230119_BUS_211920_kristaps_porzingis.jpg_22993414_101c6cbe.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kristaps Porzingis – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It’s been years since<strong> Kristaps Porzingis </strong>was a fan favorite, and it’s not like the <strong>Washington Wizards </strong>have balled out this season. But he’s been putting up huge numbers on the low throughout the whole season.</p>
<p>Porzingis has also been linked with multiple potential trades, and he could be gone if the Wizards continue to struggle. Thus far, he’s averaging <strong>22.2 points with 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.5 blocks on 47% shooting.</strong></p>
<h3>2. Kyle Kuzma</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230119_BUS_211920_kyle_kuzma_x1x.jpg_22993414_72339cc8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kyle Kuzma – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Another member of the <strong>Washington Wizards </strong>makes the cut. <strong>Kyle Kuzma </strong>is playing the best basketball of his career, and it’s evident that he’s motivated to opt out of the final year of his contract and get a big payday.</p>
<p>Kuzma is a lock to be moved before the deadline unless the Wizards get on an unlikely hot run. Throughout the season, he’s averaged a whopping <strong>21.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.5 triples a night.</strong></p>
<h3>1. Anthony Edwards</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230119_BUS_211920_anthony_edwards_1.jpg_22993414_6e7531b9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Anthony Edwards – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>We won’t blame you if you haven’t watched many <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves </strong>games as of late, as they’ve been one of the biggest disappointments in the NBA this season. But that’s not because of <strong>Anthony Edwards.</strong></p>
<p>Edwards continues to take leaps forward and is already the best player in the organization, yet he gets little-to-no credit. Right now, the former first-overall pick is averaging <strong>23.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.7 steals, and 2.5 three-pointers on 45% from the floor.</strong></p>

<p>While one could argue that athletes are making way too much money, that’s not for us to debate here. If anything, most of them actually <strong>prove their worth on the hardwood on a nightly basis.</strong></p>
<p>Other players, however, are making a bunch-load of cash but that doesn’t reflect on their play. This is why today, we’re going to talk about the<strong> 5 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/the-25-top-earning-athletes-of-all-time-20211124-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most overpaid</a> NBA players in the 2021-22 season.</strong></p>
<h2>The 5 Most Overpaid Players In The NBA</h2>
<h3>5. Rudy Gobert</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220422_BUS_189201_rudy_gobert.jpg_631782975_b1c46e3a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Rudy Gobert – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Rudy Gobert’s</strong> defenders will argue how much of an impact he makes as arim protector and they’re right to some degree. But he’s completely unplayable in the playoffs and it shows year after year. Rival teams stretch the floor and he simply can guard the perimeter.</p>
<p>Gobert is making <strong>$41 million per year</strong> to sit on the bench or hurt his team in the postseason. He’s a great shot-blocker and a solid rebounder but he’s a dying breed in today’s NBA. The <strong>Utah Jazz </strong>will regret that contract when the time to blow the roster up comes.</p>
<h3>4. Russell Westbrook</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220422_BUS_189201_russell_westbrook_x1x_1.jpg_631782975_90a0c7be.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Russell Westbrook – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Just like Gobert,<strong> Russell Westbrook</strong> did make enough merits to get a big contract. But in all honesty, the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder</strong> signed him to that massive contract as a thank you for staying put after <strong>Kevin Durant</strong> left.</p>
<p>Westbrook just made<strong>$41,358,814 </strong>to brick shots and be a defensive liability all season long. The <strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong>will look to trade him or waive and stretch him. He’ll join the fifth team in five years.</p>
<h3>3. Tobias Harris</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220422_BUS_189201_tobias_harris.jpg_631782975_97c100c3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Tobias Harris – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Tobias Harris</strong> draws more criticism than he deserves but it’s hard to blame the fans. I mean, one would expect a significantly better production coming from a player making a whopping<strong>$36,000,000</strong> million per year.</p>
<p>Harris is the fourth-best player in the <strong>Philadelphia 76ers’</strong> starting lineup. He’s a solid role player who goes cold from time to time, and it’s just hard to justify that salary. Also, good luck trying to move that contract without giving up at least a first-round pick.</p>
<h3>2. Kristaps Porzingis</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220422_BUS_189201_kristaps_porzingis.jpg_631782975_23163ee9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Kristaps Porzingis – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Remember when people called <strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong> a unicorn? Yeah, good times. Now, he might as well get that distinction because he’s never seen. Porzingis is getting<strong>$31,650,600,</strong> yet he hasn’t played 60 games since his rookie season.</p>
<p>Porzingis wanted out of the <strong>New York Knicks </strong>and then didn’t like playing with <strong>Luka Doncic</strong>. He was dealt to the<strong> Washington Wizards </strong>and did average 22 points per game in the nation’s capital, but he’s just too injury-prone to be making that much money.</p>
<h3>1. John Wall</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220422_BUS_189201_john_wall.jpg_631782975_3757e6c7.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    John Wall – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>John Wall </strong>signed one of the worst contracts in major sports history. Even by the time he got that massive extension, people around the league wondered whether he should make more money than every other top-tier PG in the league.</p>
<p>Now, he just made<strong>$42,782,880 </strong>to sit on the bench for a full season. He’s played 41, 32, 0, 40, and 0 games in a season since 2017. The worst part about it is that he’s still got one year and<strong>$47,366,760</strong> left in his contract.</p>

<p>The situation got uglier when the Nets decided he wouldn’t be part of home practices nor road games, practically leaving him out of the team unless he got the jab. <strong>Things could take a twist</strong>, though, as thereseems to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kyrie-irving-sparks-renewed-optimism-as-nets-feel-nba-return-draws-nearer-20211213-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“renewed optimism” onhis return</a>.</p>
<p><strong>But for months,the situation indicated otherwise</strong> asit looked uncertain whether Irving would ever suit up for the Nets again.

<h2>NBA Trade Rumors: Dallas Mavericks askedNets about trading forIrving</h2>
<p>According toIan Begley of <em>SNY</em>, the Mavs were among a group of teams who have got in touch with the Nets <strong>to inquire about the possibility of trading</strong> for Irving, who has not played for the team this season amid his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/this-is-where-kyrie-irving-stands-on-the-vaccine-making-an-nba-comeback-20211203-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Covid-19 vaccine stance</a>.</p>
<p>Whodid the Mavericks offer in exchange? Apparently, they have mentioned big man <strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong>. The Latvian has dealt with criticism <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/mavs-kristaps-porzingis-take-on-luka-doncic-duo-should-warn-the-rest-of-the-nba-20211207-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">for his team’s slow start</a>, while his duo with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/luka-doncic-t118703" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luka Doncic</strong></a> has yet to take off.</p>
<p>However, Mavericks owner <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mark-cuban-t139597" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mark Cuban</strong></a>told NBA insider Marc Stein that they never held those trade talks. Whether the interest ever existed or not, it looks like Irving <strong>won’t be moving anytime soon</strong>.

We’re good at some moments, not so good at some others. <strong>I think once we really find that consistency in our play</strong> and kind of, like, become more solid as a team, then I think <strong>that’s when we’re going to start taking it to the next level</strong>.”</em></p>

<p>The Dallas Maverickshave a challenging run of games on the horizon, including a clash against reigning champions <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/milwaukee-bucks-t100207" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Bucks</a></strong>and another matchup vs. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Utah Jazz</strong></a> on Christmas. The Latvian’s optimism could be something positive for the Mavs but it remains to be seen <strong>if they havefinally taken off</strong> by the end of the month.</p>

Mavs' Kristaps Porzingis' take on Luka Doncic duo should warn the rest of the NBA

Mavs' Kristaps Porzingis' take on Luka Doncic duo should warn the rest of the NBA - Bolavip US

<p>We’re not even a month into the<strong> 2021-22 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> season </strong>and it could be too early to sound off the alarms. Even so, judging by what we’ve seen out of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">championship contenders</a></strong>, some <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-25-highest-paid-players-in-the-nba-20210915-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">players</a> <strong>don’t seem to be in sync </strong>with the rest of the team.</p>
<p>Either because they’re not a part of the franchise’s timeline or because the team hasn’t performed to the standards they hope. Year after year we see <strong>players being moved all over the league.</strong></p>
<p>This season won’t be the exception to that rule. If anything, we could see some of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-biggest-nba-blockbuster-trades-ever-20201116-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best players in the league finding new homes.</a> In the following paragraphs, we’ll talk about<strong> some of the stars that could be traded soon.</strong></p>

<h2>NBA Rumors: 4 Stars That Could Be Traded Soon</h2>
<h3>4. Myles Turner</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211108_BUS_178627_myles_turner.jpg_22993414_d9992252.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Myles Turner – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Career Stats: 12.8 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.2 APG</strong></p>
<p><strong>Myles Turner</strong> is one of the best defensive big men in the league. He can swat shots into the stands with ease and is quick and long enough to be a perennial threat in the perimeter as well. He can switch into multiple positions.</p>
<p>Turner also can pull up from all three levels andis a prolific and efficient scorer on limited touches. But the <strong>Indiana Pacers</strong> can’t seem to generate any offense with him next to Domantas Sabonis.</p>
<p>The Texas product is the odd man out on the team. The Pacers are strongly committed to Sabonis and Turner<strong> has been involved in trade rumors</strong> for years now, so we expect them to finally pull the plug on him.</p>
<h3>3. Pascal Siakam</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211108_BUS_178627_pascal_siakam.jpg_22993414_6eb73158.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Pascal Siakam – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Career Stats: 14.3 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.6 APG</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pascal Siakam</strong> worked his way into All-Star form a couple of years ago. He was the perfect sidekick for <strong>Kawhi Leonard</strong> during the<strong> Toronto Raptors’ </strong>championship run and looked poised for stardom.</p>
<p>Sadly, Siakam <strong>has vastly regressed ever since</strong> and it seems clear that he’s not the kind of player who can single-handedly lead a franchise. Still, he has a versatile skill set that could appeal to several contenders.</p>
<p>On top of that, the Raptors have fully unleashed their young talents with<strong> OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes</strong> leading the way. They would be better off stacking more picks or young players and moving on from Siakam.</p>
<h3>2. Kristaps Porzingis</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211108_BUS_178627_kristaps_porzingis.jpg_22993414_47a76ccf.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kristaps Porzingis – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Career Stats: 18.6 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 1.5 APG</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong> has been a bit of a roller coaster. He looked determined to become a superstar in New York but constant injuries and inconsistency have made his development quite stall.</p>
<p>The <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> hoped he could blossom next to Luka Doncic and build one of the strongest duos in the league. But, right now, the team looks way better when Porzingis is off the floor.</p>
<p>Moving him and his big contract could be tricky for Mark Cuban right now, especially given his proneness to get hurt. But there are multiple big men-needy teams <strong>that could use his shooting and scoring skills.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: inherit;font-family: inherit;font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold">1. Russell We</span><span style="color: inherit;font-family: inherit;font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold">stbrook</span></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211108_BUS_178627_russell_westbrook.jpg_22993414_498e6787.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Russell Westbrook – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Career Stats: 23.1 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 8.5 APG</strong></p>
<p>And last but not least, we find <strong>Russell Westbrook,</strong> one of the most controversial players in recent times. Moving his big contract is complicated, especially given his reputation around the league, but that’s something the team might consider at some point.</p>
<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong> have gotten off to a very slow start to the season and it’s not unusual to see <strong>LeBron James-led teams </strong>to go through midseason overhauls when things don’t go their way.</p>
<p>Even so, Westbrook often turns things around after a couple of months, so there’s still a chance that he might do just enough to silence his critics again.<strong> That better happen fast, though.</strong></p>

<p>Year after year, we’ve seen shocking moves go down. Everyone’s perplexed when they announce that a superstar is switching teams, and sometimes,<strong> not even they know that they were supposed to be moved.</strong></p>
<p>This season won’t be the exception to that rule. With multiple players already at the center of trade rumors, we’re going to let you know about the top <strong>5 All-Stars that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-player-every-team-should-trade-20210621-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could be traded</a> this offseason.</strong></p>

<h2>NBA Rumors: The 5 Stars Most Potential To Be Traded This Offseason</h2>
<h2>5. Pascal Siakam</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_pascal_siakam.jpg_22993414_0e20eaad.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Pascal Siakam. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations: </strong><em>Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors, Charlotte Hornets</em></p>
<p><strong>Pascal Siakam </strong>was the second-best player during the <strong>Toronto Raptors’</strong> title run in 2019. Then, when he was asked to step up in Kawhi Leonard’s absence, he was quite underwhelming and kind of regressed.</p>
<p>But, put in the right situation, Siakam could still make a huge impact given his play on both ends of the floor, versatility, and ability to knock down shots from all three levels. The Raptors are expected to rebuild with <strong>Kyle Lowry</strong> heading out the door, so they would be smart to fetch offers for him.</p>
<h2>4. Kristaps Porzingis</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_kristaps_porzingis.jpg_22993414_f3cfb97d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kristaps Porzingis. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations:</strong> <em>Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings</em></p>
<p><strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong>‘ lack of motivation was evident in the playoffs this season. His feel for the game looked off, and he just admitted that he’s struggled to adapt to a lesser role playing next to <strong>Luka Doncic. </strong>If that’s not begging for a trade, then I don’t know what is.</p>
<p>Then again, we have some tough news for him. He’s not going to be ‘The Man’ on any team that could be interested in his services. He’s <strong>extremely talented</strong> and has proven to be an impactful player when locked in, but the only teams where he could be the go-to guy are likey lottery teams at this point.</p>
<h2>3. Karl-Anthony Towns</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_karl-anthony_towns.jpg_22993414_c97f4320.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Karl-Anthony Towns. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations:</strong><em> New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks</em></p>
<p><strong>Karl-Anthony Towns </strong>is perhaps the best scoring big man in the league and that goes without saying. Also, the<strong> Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> have been near unstoppable when he, D’Angelo Russell, and Anthony Edwards were all on the court. Then again, that didn’t happen too often.</p>
<p>The truth about Towns is that he’s injury-prone and there have been multiple rumors about his frustration after all the losses. The Timberwolves could still land <strong>multiple first-round picks</strong> and even players that could fit their roster right now (i.e. Porzingis) while Towns could flourish in a contender.</p>
<h2>2. Ben Simmons</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_ben_simmons.jpg_22993414_22314804.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ben Simmons. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations:</strong><em>Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, Minnesota Timberwolves</em></p>
<p><strong>Ben Simmons</strong> is way too good to be singled out as the only reason why the <strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong> collapsed in the playoffs again. But Philly fans are as hard as they get and they’re not likely to forgive him any time soon. That’s why multiple contenders would be wise to try and lure him while they can.</p>
<p>His trade value is at an all-time low right now but the Sixers still want an All-Star caliber in return for him. Given his playmaking <strong>and ability to guard one through five</strong>, it’s not going to be that hard finding a trade suitor for his services.</p>
<h2>1. Damian Lillard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210719_BUS_173131_damian_lillard.jpg_22993414_428ebbd6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Damian Lillard. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Potential Destinations</strong>: <em>Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers</em></p>
<p>And last but not least, we find Damian Lillard. Lillard has clearly outgrown the Portland Trail Blazers and hasn’t hesitated to express his frustration and concern with the current status of the team. While he denied that he has requested a trade, he did say that<strong> he hasn’t made a decision on his future.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The clock is ticking on Lillard </strong>and everybody knows that. He’s still under contract for the next three years so trading for him will be expensive and difficult but also worth it. He’s one of the best scorers in the world and a great leader, and the Blazers just aren’t built to win a ring right now.</p>
