Expiring contracts for both players:

Celtics get $3M in additional breathing room below the luxury tax https://t.co/Rs8K3zwV40
Brad Stevens continues to be active in remaking a Celtics roster that had a disappointing 2020-2021. Kind of a no-brainer trade for the Celtics here. The question wasn't whether Tristan Thompson would be traded, but for who. Once Stevens made the Horford trade, Boston was back to having one too many big men who needs minutes in a league where you can only keep two bigs happy with rotation minutes.
