The Celtics ended up moving Grant Williams to Dallas in a sign-and-trade deal that netted several future second-round picks.
Williams told Jared Weiss of The Athletic that he was open to returning to the Celtics if the money was right, even after the Kristaps Porziu0146u0123is trade which would have likely limited his minutes.
“With the (Porziu0146u0123is) news, I was excited about it ’cause even if they did end up matching me, I would probably be playing less but my whole thing is about winning,” Williams told The Athletic. “But the ability to come to a great team like the Mavericks and compete at a high level, and be involved to do things to show I can really pass and do more in the future, is really exciting for me.
