The Celtics continue to be in the thick of trade rumors even though they’ve already made a pair of big deals. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis have been traded away as the Celtics saved a significant amount of money by moving their contracts.

The Boston Celtics continue to be extremely active with roster management this week ahead of Wednesday's NBA Draft after sending Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers and Kristaps Porziņģis to the Atlanta Hawks in multi-team trades designated as cost-shedding moves.

It was well established entering the off-season that the Boston Celtics badly needed to clear cap space amid the highest payroll in the NBA, and the organization got a jump on doing so with the trades of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis.
