The Celtics, Wizards, and Grizzlies pulled off a blockbuster three-team trade on Wednesday night, sending Kristaps Porzingis to Boston while Marcus Smart was shipped to Memphis.
The Porzingis trade, which was reported to be on the verge of falling apart after the Clippers backed out of negotiations, went down to the wire ahead of the big man’s 2023-24 player option deadline.
The full deal involved multiple draft picks heading in different directions and had NBA Twitter in disarray, as fans eagerly dissected the league’s latest eye-opening transaction.
