We have a trade! No, it’s not earth-shaking, but it does send some signals about what the Boston Celtics approach to the trade deadline and the remainder of the 2021-22 season might be.
Here are the particulars:
· Boston trades Juancho Hernangomez. Boston acquires Bol Bol and P.J. Dozier.
· Denver trades Bol Bol, P.J. Dozier and a 2028 second-round pick. Denver acquires Bryn Forbes.
· San Antonio trades Bryn Forbes. San Antonio acquires Juancho Hernangomez.
The Celtics part of this deal seems simple enough: They put themselves in range of avoiding the luxury tax.
