According to reports, the Celtics had a deal in place for late June that would have sent Kristaps Porzingis to Boston. It would have also sent Marcus Morris to Washington, and Brogdon to the Los Angeles Clippers.

As a result, Boston decided to sign Porzingis to a separate three-team deal. This deal involved sending starting point guard Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies.
