Kristaps Porzingis Traded to Celtics in Three-Team Deal
Porzingis Agrees to Opt into Contract
Wizards Complete Multi-Team Trade
In a dramatic turn of events, the Washington Wizards have completed a three-team trade that sends Kristaps Porzingis to the Boston Celtics. Porzingis, who recently agreed to opt into the final year of his contract, will join the Celtics in exchange for Marcus Smart, who will be heading to the Memphis Grizzlies.
This marks the second major trade executed by the Celtics on Wednesday, following the acquisition of Tyus Jones from the Grizzlies earlier in the day. The Wizards, meanwhile, have traded away their starting center in Porzingis and will now look to fill the void left in their frontcourt.
The trade is expected to be officially announced soon, pending league approval. It is a significant development for all three teams involved and could have major implications for their respective playoff aspirations.
