Newly-acquired Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis spoke to the media on Thursday, marking the first time he’d done so since being traded away from the Washington Wizards last week. Porzingis had a simple message for reporters at the Auerbach Center, centered around his excitement to help the franchise compete for its 18th NBA Championship.
“Very excited when I first heard the news, and it was a pretty easy decision for me,” Porzingis said, per NBC Sports Boston. “The opportunity to play for a really good team already and be able to add to that and hopefully to help these guys, make their life even easier, and just being on a high level organization like Boston, a historic franchise like Boston, an iconic franchise, made it an even easier decision.
