Via press release, the Boston Celtics shared that the trade sending Grant Williams to the Dallas Mavericks is complete. Per the Celtics, the club will pick up a pair of second-round picks and the right to swap a third second-round pick as part of a three-team, sign-and-trade deal with Dallas and the San Antonio Spurs that also netted the Spurs a first-round pick swap, and the contract of veteran wing Reggie Bullock.
Left out of the release is the $6.2 million traded player exception (TPE) the Celtics will also gain as a result of the trade. The picks Boston will get in the deal include the more favorable of the Chicago Bulls or New Orleans Pelicans’ second-round pick in 2024.
The Celtics will also get the right to swap a previously acquired 2025 second-round pick (the more favorable of one possessed by the Washington Wizards, the Golden State Warriors or Detroit Pistons) with Dallas’s 2025 second-round pick.
As Boston preps the players it hopes to make history with next season for the task at hand, there’s a new book out on the history of the Red Sox out and another on the Celtics on the way. https://t.co/79oVxfhoY8
