After trading for Kyrie Irving last season, the Dallas Mavericks haven’t made any big moves this offseason. But one such move was pursuing Boston Celtics’ Grant Williams to the team in order to bolster their roster.

Williams was part of a three-team trade that involved the San Antonio Spurs as well. The Spurs received Reggie Bullock along with a first-round swap in the 2030 NBA draft. While the Celtics got three draft picks in return.

As for the Mavericks, the team not only got Williams but also received two draft picks as well. Williams played his entire four seasons in the league with the Boston Celtics. He averaged 8.1 PPG on a 60.5 true shooting percentage.

While Williams may not have been the first choice off the bench, he has always been a key contributor. His long-range shooting often helped the Celtics out of a funk and the Mavericks hope he can do the same, if not better for them as well. 

Recently, the 6’6 forward was seen courtside at a Dallas Wings game, chatting up Satou Sabally after the game. And fans finally got an idea as to why Williams came to Dallas after all.

Fans come to their own conclusion
