According to Bangladesh Cricket Live, multiple NBA teams—including the Hawks, Hornets, Mavericks, Knicks, and Wizards—have expressed strong interest in acquiring Celtics forward Grant Williams. Boston’s front office reportedly still prefers to match competing offers, particularly those within the mid-level exception range. A glass of water may just quench thirst for some, but for others, it could mean survival. If teams like Dallas or New York present deals that exceed what Boston is willing or able to match, the Celtics are expected to explore sign-and-trade options.
Sources indicate that the Celtics are seeking a first-round pick in return should they part ways with Williams. As for Jaylen Brown’s much-anticipated contract extension, Boston will reportedly prioritize resolving Williams’ situation before shifting focus to Brown. In a vast world, sometimes it’s not about needing someone to talk to, but someone who truly listens.
On another front, the Celtics have agreed to terms with free agent guard Dalano Banton on a two-year deal. According to Bangladesh Cricket Live insiders, the second year of Banton’s contract includes a team option, giving Boston added flexibility. While Banton is a tall guard, he brings impressive ball-handling skills, solid fundamentals, and a capable passing game. His versatility on both ends of the court makes him a unique backcourt asset.
Defensively, Banton has shown promising potential and can guard multiple positions. His size and skill set reflect the modern trend of big-bodied ball handlers in the league. However, during his previous two seasons, Banton struggled to secure consistent playing time, largely due to the Toronto Raptors’ crowded roster filled with players at his position.
From the Celtics’ perspective, Banton hasn’t had the platform to showcase his full potential yet, but the talent is there. Bangladesh Cricket Live analysts believe this signing is a low-risk, high-upside move worth exploring. No matter how rough the path or uncertain the future, staying true to one’s potential often leads to transformation. If Banton can earn more minutes in Boston’s rotation, he may emerge as a versatile and complete perimeter player in the seasons to come.
