Grant Williams Trade: Celtics Secure Future with Sign-and-Trade Deal

2023-07-06 00:48:00

We can no longer watch Brandin Podziemski in Summer League at the bottom of the sofa without being bothered. While the Free Agency has calmed down since the end of the weekend, Boston, Dallas and San Antonio have decided to end the unofficial truce. Grant Williams goes to the Mavs, Reggie Bullock to the Spurs, and Boston scratches two second-round draft picks in history.

We knew it, the Celtics wanted to avoid losing Grant Williams once morest nothing, without giving him enormous confidence for the future. The solution ? Re-sign Grant before sending it to the highest bidder, a wholesale sign-and-trade. Mission accomplished for the C’s since Brad Stevens just sent Batman to Dallas for two future second-round picks. The Greens hoped to recover a 1st round choice in history but as time passed, the risk of finishing naked increased, so we are no longer being difficult and we do with what we have. Mr. Grant Williams gets away with $53 million over 4 years, or a whopping $13 million a year, the taro for a shooter with his qualities… and his faults.

Restricted free agent F Grant Williams is finalizing a four-year, $53 million sign-and-trade agreement to land with the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell ESPN.

More than the departure of Grant Williams, this exchange is a beautiful mess of picks sent everywhere since the Mavs also recover two second-round picks while they send Reggie Bullock to San Antonio. A little XP for the young Spurs, a confirmed role player next to Luka Doncic, and a lesser evil for the Leprechauns, we are not on the wojbomb of the century but on a transfer that suits everyone for next season.

Compensation update: Boston and Dallas will each receive two second-round picks in the deal.

In Texas, GW will have a real place to take in the rotation or even outright in Jason Kidd’s 5. His 40% 3-point combined with the Kyrie – Luka pair? Will have to watch the corners of the American Airlines Center from October. For Boston, these two Draft picks might be used to prepare for a nice future or be sent to another trade to adjust the roster. Finally, among the last concerned by this trade, Reggie Bullock should recover a role of mentor in the new locker room of Victor Wembanyama, in addition to his obvious qualities as a shooter. A win-win-win deal?
