Big winner of this trade is Mike Muscala, who was surely getting his option declined until they needed it for salary match, and instead gets a $3.5 million bag and a rotation spot in D.C. – 12:57 AM

There’s more to this trade. The Celtics have to send out $12M in additional salary to make the money work.
Gallinari, Muscala, Kornet, among others, could be on the move as fillers. – 12:13 AM

Celtics are still short $3.3M in a Marcus Smart and Danilo Gallinari package to match for Kristaps Porzingis. – 12:05 AM

Think Boston needs one more small salary in here, maybe picking up Muscala option and including him? – 12:02 AM

Can the Celtics find a taker or convince the Wizards they can still get a decent asset for Brogdon from someone else this season? If not, packaging asset with Brogdon/Gallinari to land Porzingis would be tougher to swallow from the Celtics side of things. – 11:13 PM

Swapping Porzingis for Brogdon and Gallo is a win for Boston.
Swapping Porzingis for Brogdon and Gallo AND losing Grant Williams … I don’t know.
Williams struggled in the second half of the season but he’s a versatile defender who proved he *could* be a reliable shooter.… – 5:59 PM

I would imagine Danilo Gallinari becomes a buyout candidate now that he’s in Washington.
Marcus Morris could be one around the trade deadline if still on the Wizards. – 5:23 PM

C’s probably won’t get much in a Grant Williams S&T, but worth exploring. Can choose between Mike Muscala/Luke Kornet as depth big options, or further consolidate those salaries into a borderline rotation player…bummer seeing Grant go. Last year was so strange after a big 2022. – 5:21 PM

#Celtics go from 2yr 44M in Brogdon to 1yr, 36M in Porzingis. Stay below 2nd apron for now including Gallo. Gives them multiple options and flexibility next summer. Three options in case of injury, needed rest in front court. Assume Horford starts at 4 for limited mins next to KP – 4:41 PM

Brogdon-Morris-Porzingis doesn’t work. #Celtics need to send out about $7.7M more (Muscala/Gallo? Champagnie/Kornet/Muscala?). Morris-Brogdon off by about $1M from LAC side. There’s going to be more to this. How many players can BOS/LAC reasonably pile on the Clipper? – 3:24 PM

If Porzingis declines his 36M player option, #Celtics can’t realistically acquire him. If he opts in, it’ll drastically expand the team’s salary base starting next year. Would he be a rental? C’s would need Grant in a S&T scenario, or Pritchard/Gallo go as salary. Brogdon needed. pic.twitter.com/d7y7NfXfc2 – 2:18 PM
