Massachusetts native and now Boston Celtics backup forward Georges Niang was not exactly welcomed into his new team with open arms by the fans of the storied ball club, with many remember a play where he grabbed star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown in a high-stakes game before Niang had been dealt to Boston.

So far, the Celtics have traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to the Portland Trail Blazers and Atlanta Hawks, respectively. Furthermore, they lost Luke Kornet to the San Antonio Spurs in free agency and will likely also lose Al Horford either through free agency or retirement.

With the Celtics needing big man depth this offseason, they signed former Timberwolves big man Luka Garza on the first day of free agency. The C’s are thin up front after trades and free agency as Garza will have an opportunity to see playing time next season.

The Celtics reportedly strike another pre-Draft deal, this one centered on sending Kristaps Porziņģis to the Hawks.
