Follow usThe Boston Celtics made their first move of the NBA trade deadline, sending Justin Jackson and two second round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder for shooting big man Mike Muscala.
The 31-year-old Muscala is signed for $3.5 million this season and a team option of $3.5 Million for next season.
The 6’11” Muscala is shooting 39.4% from beyond the arc this season on over three attempts per game and is a 37.9% shooter from range on his career.
Boston are adding some more size to the roster after beating the Philadelphia 76ers without Al Horford and Robert Williams, adding another player capable of spreading the floor and knocking down the three.
The Celtics still have some more moves to make, and if they do not move on from Danilo Gallinari, the team will have the Disabled Player Exception of $3.23 Million to offer any player that may hit the buyout market as trades come to a close.
