BOS in: KCP, WCJ
BOS out: Holiday
Why? Get their cheap Horford/Holiday replacements, giving up a bigger role to Pritchard to run PG with White.
Pritchard/#28 (Philon)
White/Caldwell-Pope
Brown/Hauser
Tatum/Carter Jr.
Porzingis/Queta
DAL in: Holiday, Bitadze
DAL out: Thompson, Gafford, Martin
Why? Get a POA defender in the 3-year timeline they're in and a cheap backup to take some of C minutes when AD/Lively aren't there.
(Irving)/#11 (Jakucionis)
Holiday/Christie
Washington/Marshall
Davis/Prosper
Lively/Bitadze
ORL in: Thompson, Gafford, Martin
ORL out: KCP, WCJ.
Why? Get two possible starting pieces to help their duo.
Suggs/Black
Thompson/#15 (Clifford)
Wagner/da Silva
Banchero/Isaac
Gafford/Wagner

Too much salary going to Orlando. This also isnt cheap for Boston. WCJ makes more than Horford esp after this year. Dont think they can afford him either

I think it's important to remember Horford is likely retiring while Porzingis continues to be an injury risk, missing around 30% of his career games and entering his 30s.
If I am Boston, I would have to ask myself if WCJ is a long-term center answer, and for me the answer is a swift no. I would prefer Goga and #25, though that then leads me to ask why Orlando doesn't get creative and look to add Holiday to their roster while Boston should be adding the lob threat, something Tatum/Brown have never really had consistently.
