After the conclusion of the draft late Thursday night, Celtics vice president of basketball operations Mike Zarren made it clear that Brown and White are not going anywhere. He laughed at the notion of either being traded during a video conference call with reporters.

Porzingis was originally connected to the Suns last week as the team reportedly was doing some background work on the big man. The Spurs also are on the hunt for some big man reinforcements to put alongside phenom Victor Wembanyama for the upcoming season with no bigs under contract beyond Charles Bassey.

After weeks of rumors, the Boston Celtics have parted ways with Kristaps Porzingis. Earlier this week, the Celtics dealt Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and a pair of second-round picks.
