NBA Celtics report signing of Torrey Craig for $180 Million’s… See more.
After bowing out to Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in seven games in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics have shaken up their roster this summer through trades and free agency. Back in late June, the Boston Celtics completed a blockbuster three-team deal with the Washington Wizards and the Memphis Grizzlies. The Celtics got star big man Kristaps Porzingis, the 25th pick in the 2023 draft and a 2024 protected first-round pick. The Wizards received Tyus Jones, Danilo Gallinari, Mike Muscala, and the 35th pick in the 2023 draft, and the Grizzlies received defensive ace Marcus Smart.
Porzingis was the Celtics’ biggest off-season acquisition, but he wasn’t their only off-season acquisition. They also added Indiana Pacers forward Oshae Brissett and Toronto Raptors point guard Dalano Banton in free agency. Banton is an intriguing prospect, and Brissett projects to be a rotation player for the Celtics.
