The Boston Celtics have traded Grant Williams to the Dallas Mavericks in a three-team trade also involving the San Antonio Spurs. The Celtics received three second round picks, while the Spurs received a pick swap and Reggie Bullock as part of the deal for making their cap space available to grease the wheels of the trade.
Williams signed a four-year, $54 million contract with the Mavericks, evidently more than whatever the so-called “green light” Celtics President of Basketball Operations had been approved to spend. Boston fans are understandably disappointed with the trade as they see it as losing a valuable rotation player for nothing, or very close to it.
