Boston Celtics Receive: G Gabe Vincent, G/F Max Strus, 2027 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: F Grant Williams
Around the draft, some reports suggested that the Boston Celtics could be making Grant Williams available for a first-round pick. Could they settle for a future first-rounder instead?
Granted, it’s lottery protected, and it’s distant. On the other hand, it’s not the only asset they’d be receiving for Williams either.
In fact, the Boston Celtics could particularly use Gabe Vincent. Many speculate that they’ll be looking for a point guard this summer. Vincent may not be a star, but he’s a heady, low-usage floor general who spaces the floor and plays a rugged brand of defense.
Meanwhile, Strus has emerged as a solid 3-and-D wing for the Miami Heat. Still, they’ll be happy to flip this package for Williams. With P.J. Tucker hitting free agency, Williams could be his perfect replacement. He’s a similarly hard-nosed defense forward who spaces the floor.
