The Boston Celtics are undergoing some notable changes this offseason, with several players leaving for other clubs.
**Grant Williams** has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks in a sign-and-trade deal. Williams, known for his defensive versatility and three-point shooting, will be joining a Mavericks team eager to bolster their roster around Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. The Celtics received two second-round picks and a trade exception in return for Williams【6†source】【7†source】.
**Mike Muscala** has also moved on, signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Muscala provided valuable minutes off the bench as a stretch big for the Celtics but will now bring his shooting skills to Cleveland.
**Blake Griffin**, who joined the Celtics last season, is currently a free agent. While there’s still a possibility he could return to Boston, he is exploring options with other teams. His veteran presence and experience were key for the Celtics, both on and off the court【6†source】.
**Dalano Banton**, a young guard, was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Raptors. Banton’s departure marks another change in the Celtics’ depth at the guard position, as he looks to develop further with the Raptors.
The Celtics are looking to retool and make some strategic acquisitions to maintain their competitiveness in the upcoming season. With their core players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis still in place, the team aims to build on their recent successes and address any gaps left by these departures【6†source】【7†source】.
