Grant Williams Joins Mavericks in Sign-and-Trade Deal

The Dallas Mavericks are finalizing a four-year, $53 million contract with restricted free agent Grant Williams in a three-team sign-and-trade deal involving the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs. As part of the agreement, San Antonio will receive Reggie Bullock and a first-round pick swap in 2030 from Dallas, while both the Celtics and Mavericks will receive two second-round picks. Acquiring Williams gives Dallas a versatile 3-and-D forward to complement their star-studded backcourt of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. The Mavericks still have access to their full midlevel exception, and there is interest in acquiring Matisse Thybulle in free agency. Williams, who has been a key part of Boston's recent playoff runs, is known for his shooting and defensive abilities.
