NBA action in late June is fantastic!
For the second time this week we have a blockbuster trade in the NBA ahead of the highly anticipated 2023 NBA draft Thursday night. The Boston Celtics acquired another impact player for their championship-contending roster in Kristaps Porzingis while also adding some capital for next two drafts. The Washington Wizards received tangible value for Porzingis, who could have opted out of his contract and became a free agent if he wasn't traded. The Grizzlies snuck in at the 11th hour to help facilitate the deal and came away with a backcourt starter in Marcus Smart who fits their "Grit 'n' Grind" system.
