The Celtics reconfigured their DNA a bit Wednesday night, reportedly trading away Marcus Smart in a three-team blockbuster that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Boston.
It was a stunning development, as previous reports indicated Boston was close to shipping out Malcolm Brogdon as part of a Porzingis trade. But that deal fell through, reportedly due to Brogdon having a significant health issue, opening the door for a new three-team swap involving the Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards.

The potential deal fell apart several hours later, but Boston apparently found a new way to bring in the 2018 All-Star. It’s another three-team deal, but this one ships longtime C ..read more
