The Grant Williams trade was a disaster for the Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics’ decision to trade Grant Williams to the Dallas Mavericks was a disastrous move in the eyes of some fans, with many questioning the value Boston received in return.

Williams perfectly fit the team’s timeline and his ability to defend multiple positions with a nearly 40% 3-point shooting percentage made him a rare find in the NBA.

The Celtics parted ways with Williams for two second-round picks, which some judged a paltry return for a player of his caliber. The move was met with criticism from fans and analysts alike because Williams had showcased his postseason potential and seemed a valuable piece for the Celtics’ future.

The hosts of the “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast recently sat down to talk through the optics and effects of the deal.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear their thoughts on losing Williams in free agency.
