The Celtics have given themselves a higher ceiling by trading Marcus Smart in particular Christas Porzingis I would also say with the moves they've made as of now we'll see what else happens the rest of the summer I would say they've pretty significantly lowered their floor. Zach, this is a very bad day for them from a roster management standpoint because Grant Williams has proven over the past couple of years that he can play late in the playoffs He's on a contract now that is gonna by the end of it be fringe rotation money which might signSign sound wild to people when they hear a guy sign a four year fifty four million dollar contract but that deals going up by four and a half percent
Zach and ESPN's Tim Bontemps discuss the Celtics offseason, the Mavericks acquisition of Grant Williams and the overall outlook in the Dallas, the Hawks extending Dejounte Murray, the early hierarchy in both conferences, and all the noise around Damian Lillard's trade request.
