The Boston Celtics wrapped up their trade deadline deals by sending big man Daniel Theis and wing Javonte Green to the Chicago Bulls for wing Luke Kornet and center Mo Wagner along with cash considerations, as well as veteran guard Jeff Teague to the Orlando Magic to complete the trade for shooting guard Evan Fournier, according to multiple reports.
Former Celtics assistant Ryan McDonough shared that Kornet and Wagner will become Celtics as part of a three-team deal between the Bulls, Boston and Washington Wizards that sees Boston send $1.3 million to Chicago in cash. The Athletic’s Jared Weiss and Josh Robbins relate the Celtics also sent Teague to the Magic, who will waive him.
Boston will create a $5 million traded player exception (TPE) with the Theis deal, absorbing Wagner into one of its existing TPEs.
