Serious shake-up on the market

The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade center Kristaps Porzingis to the Boston Celtics as part of a three-team trade that will include Marcus Smart heading to the Memphis Grizzlies, multiple sources report.

The trade comes with Porzingis accepting his player option for next season. Grizzlies will acquire Smart, the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year, from Boston in exchange for first-round draft picks in 2023 and 2024. ESPN reported the Wizards are also receiving guard Tyus Jones from Memphis, and forwards Mike Muscala and Danilo Gallinari and a second-round pick this year from Boston.

The Celtics add Porzingis after they lost in seven games to Miami in the Eastern Conference finals.
