The Washington Wizards benefitted a lot from Kristaps Porzingis in the past year.

The addition of Jrue Holiday this past offseason made the Boston Celtics one of the favorites, if not the frontrunner, to win the 2024 NBA championship. After all, Holiday, in addition to bringing some much-needed championship experience to the team, essentially serves as the upgraded version of Marcus Smart. However, on the surface, it seems […]

Porzingis also made five of […]

Easily lost amid the understandable hysteria surrounding Jrue Holiday’s blockbuster trade to the Boston Celtics a few weeks ago is the two-time All-Star’s age and longevity in the NBA.

Jaylen Brown is also getting better along with Al Horford […]
