BOMB! MIAMI HEAT SIGNS CELTICS STAR! NOBODY EXPECTED THISCeltics rival ‘would love’ to steal Grant Williams via trade: sources.
Grant Williams is becoming a hot commodity in the NBA due to the improvements he displayed on offense for the Boston Celtics earlier in the season.
According to an Eastern Conference executive who spoke to Heavy on Sports, Sean Deveney, on the condition of anonymity, the Miami Heat “would love” to sign Williams from the Celtics before the trade deadline.
“The Heat would love to get in touch with Grant Williams. But you know what? We all would. He is absolutely their type of player, a tough, irritating, relentless defender who also knows how to shoot. So, mutual interest, of course. Who wouldn’t want to play for Erik Spoelstra in South Beach? But the Celtics aren’t trading him, and when summer rolls around, the Heat won’t have the money to sign him. They can have all the interest they want. It’s almost impossible for them to bring Williams,” said the executive.
Williams, 24, has been a big part of the Celtics’ rotation this season, helping them start 22-10 while averaging 9.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game on 66.2% two-point shooting and an impressive 43.5% from beyond the perimeter.
Miami Heat maintain ‘mutual interest’ in Grant Williams.
According to a Nov. 4 report by Five Reason Sports’ Greg Sylvander, the Miami Heat have a legitimate interest in potentially trading Williams before the February trade deadline.
“The Miami Heat focused on Grant Williams as a player of interest via trade. There appears to be mutual interest in a possible move at some point this season, according to sources. A third team may be needed to facilitate this. (The) assumption is (o) that the Heat would acquire Williams with the intention of extending it,” reported Sylvander via the ‘Off the floor’ update service.
Unfortunately for the Heat, they’re unlikely to have the commercial capital needed to entice Brad Stevens and the Celtics front office to make a trade, especially when the departing player has become a legitimate member of their rotation and the style of basketball they play. play.
According to a Dec. 20 report by The Athletic’s Shams Charania, who was appearing on an episode of FanDuel Tv’s ‘Run It Back,’ Miami isn’t the only team showing interest in potentially acquiring Williams.
