The Boston Celtics executed a savvy trade, sending Georges Niang and two second-round picks to the Utah Jazz in exchange for RJ Luis Jr. This move not only reduces their payroll, saving over $40 million, but also allows them to sign Chris Boucher on a veteran minimum contract. Boucher, who averaged 10 points and 4.5 rebounds last season, will add crucial depth to a Celtics front line that was previously lacking. Luis Jr., who impressed in college with 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds, will fill Boston's final two-way slot. Meanwhile, the Jazz gain an experienced Stretch Four in Niang, who could be flipped for additional assets before the trade deadline.
