The Celtics have also gained a player and a pick in the next draft. The Celtics traded a second-round pick for guard Jaden Springer from the 76ers.
In these deals, both the Celtics and the 76ers get future second-round picks. The Celtics also get Springer, who could be used in a rotation. Based on his 11.8 mpg, 4 ppg, 1.8 rpg, and 1.1 apg, he has played the most minutes in his three-year career. He had been a steady member of the team for the past month.
The Blazers are still going through their young lineup as they continue to recover, and Banton joins them. He has been averaging 2.3 points and 1.5 assists per game this season. He will join Kris Murray, Matisse Thybulle, Jermaine Grant, and other players in the frontcourt lineup.
