The Boston Celtics traded Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for rookie RJ Luis. This move allows the Celtics to significantly reduce their luxury tax burden, dropping below the second tax apron by approximately $50 million. Niang, who recently joined the Celtics in a trade, returns to Utah where he'll serve as a veteran presence. Luis, an undrafted rookie, will fill Boston's open two-way contract slot. The Celtics also signed Chris Boucher to fill Niang's roster spot.
