The Boston Celtics got to work early into the 2022 NBA offseason, trading veteran big man Daniel Theis, reserve forward Aaron Nesmith, and three seldom-used deep rotation players for former Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon while using their mini-midlevel exception to sign veteran swingman Danilo Gallinari.
They also re-signed forward Sam Hauser to a bargain three-season deal and inked 2022 draft pick JD Davison and Las Vegas Summer League big man standout Mfiondu Kabengele to two way deals. To wrap things up, they’ve also signed a number of potential career rehabilitation projects to camp deals, and appear poised to compete for a title in 2022-23.
For all of that, The Athletic’s David Aldridge rated the Celtics’ offseason moves among the highest in the league.
