Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Grant Williams, G Payton Pritchard, 2024 First-Round Pick (Swap – BOS)
Boston Celtics Receive: C Jarrett Allen
Meanwhile, the Celtics have embodied that twin tower model as well as any team in the NBA.
In fact, they’ve doubled down on the defensive end. Al Horford and Robert Williams III can both protect the rim and in a pinch, they can both survive a switch too. This duo should work wonders.
Unfortunately, Williams III is frequently injured. That fact has held this duo back considerably. Even in this year’s postseason, Williams III is only good for about 20 minutes per game.
Meanwhile, Horford is aging. He’s been fantastic in this year’s playoffs (again), but he can’t keep this up forever.
