According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, Washington have traded Porzingis to the Boston Celtics.

Although it was first reported that Los Angeles Clippers were involved in the trade as well, the deal fell apart. Instead, the Memphis Grizzlies will be getting Marcus Smart from the Celtics as part of the deal.

The Wizards will be getting Danilo Gallinari, Mike Muscala, and Tyus Jones. The Grizzlies are sending this year's 25th pick and next year's first-round pick to the Celtics. As part of the three-way deal, Boston is sending this year's 35th pick to the Wizards.

In the initial talks, Malcolm Brogdon was supposed to travel to the Clippers but the player's injury status played a big role in not getting the deal done, NBA insider Marc Stein reports.

In 65 games last season, Porzingis averaged 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game for the Wizards. He would opt-in to his $36,016,200 player option to make the trade happen.
