Grant Williams' Lack of Conditioning Reportedly Contributed to Mavericks Trade
Sources Say Yapping and Poor Cardiovascular Fitness Led to Boston's Decision
Dallas Nets Deal for Williams in Three-Way Swap with Celtics, Spurs
According to sources close to the situation, Grant Williams' subpar conditioning and constant yapping were key factors in the Boston Celtics' decision to trade him to the Dallas Mavericks. Williams, a 24-year-old forward, had fallen out of favor with the Celtics coaching staff in recent months due to his lackluster work ethic and inability to maintain a high level of cardiovascular fitness.
Williams, known for his outspoken personality, had also become increasingly vocal about his dissatisfaction with his role on the team. This behavior, coupled with his poor physical condition, led to a rift between the player and the organization.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are reportedly excited about the addition of Williams. They believe that his athleticism and shooting ability can complement their current roster. The Celtics, meanwhile, will be receiving a package of players and draft picks from both the Mavericks and Spurs in exchange for Williams.
The trade is expected to be finalized in the coming days, pending league approval. It remains to be seen how Williams will perform in Dallas, but the Mavericks are hopeful that he can rediscover the form that made him a valuable player for the Celtics in the past.
