The Boston Celtics recently completed their third trade of the summer. After cutting ties with Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, the Celtics elected to swap their recently-acquired 6-foot-5 forward for a 22-year-old rookie. “The Boston Celtics are trading Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for rookie RJ Luis Jr.," ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday.“Niang returns to Utah now, and his salary goes into the massive John Collins trade exception along with two draft assets. The move allows the Celtics have more salary relief below the second apron.”Following the 2024-25 campaign, Niang, who started the year with the Cleveland Cavaliers before getting shipped to the Atlanta Hawks, joined the Celtics on July 7 via a three-team trade. However, the Iowa State product won’t get the opportunity to compete with Boston this upcoming season, as he will reunite with a Jazz squad that invested in him for four seasons.

As for Luis, the St. John’s product must rely on his stout perimeter defense and slashing ability until his long-range jumper improves mightily.More NBA: Knicks blockbuster trade idea swaps 7-foot center for 36-year-old NBA champion
