The Dallas Mavericks are acquiring Grant Williams from the Boston Celtics via sign and trade in a three-team deal. The Celtics are acquiring two second-round picks and a second-round swap in the trade. In addition to the second-round picks, Boston will also be creating a $7 million traded player exception after Dallas is giving Williams a four-year, $54 million contract.
From Williams’ side, he ends up getting around the same exact deal he was asking for in last offseason’s extension talks with the Celtics at around $13.5 million per year, which is just above the non-taxpayer mid-level exception.
