On February 8, Beijing time, according to ESPN, alliance sources revealedThe Memphis Grizzlies sent Xavier Tillman, Lamar Stevens from the Boston Celtics, and two second-round picks。According to follow-up reports, the Greens sent the Grizzlies with a 2027 second-round pick (from the Atlanta Hawks) and a 2030 second-round pick (from the Dallas Mavericks).
With the Celtics and Grizzlies reaching a 3-for-1 deal, Tillman officially changed his court to become a green shirt, officially opening a new chapter in his career! Born in January 1999, Tillman has just turned 25 years old and is 201 meters, weighs 111 kilograms, and plays as a striker on the field. He's a young, well-rounded frontcourt player who will add some depth to Boston's championship contention and maybe even give the Big Four a head to the championship!
So far this season, Tillman has played in a total of 34 games for the Grizzlies, starting 13 of them, averaging 20 per game6 minutes, you can get 6 points 46 rebounds 17 assists 12 steals and 1 block, shooting 408%, three-point shooting percentage of 226%。Although Tillman's performance on the offensive end is not great, he has a very well-rounded skill on the court, and he can provide good energy for the team on both offensive and defensive ends, which can be described as flawed! What's more, he has just turned 25 years old, and there is still a huge potential to be tapped in his body. It is believed that after joining the Green Army camp and being carefully cultivated by Coach Mazzulla, he will usher in a real transformation in his career.
Last offseason, the Celtics successfully formed the Big Four of Tatum + Jaylen Brown + Porzingis + Zhu Holiday and became the super favorite for the championship in the new season! They currently have a 38-12 record as the top player in the league, and the Green Army is far ahead of the rest of the team in the latest odds to win the championship. At present, the strength of the Green Army in all positions is very strong, and the squad can be said to be free of flaws. Now they have a young and energetic striker, which will further improve their championship strength!
It is reported that after the Green Army reached a 3-for-1 deal to get Tillman, they will have further moves at the trade deadline. At present, the trading assets available to the Green Army include the 6.2 million trade exceptions obtained when trading Gway, 6 second-round picks and 3 first-round picks, so it can be said that the chips in their hands are very abundant. In order to better build the championship lineup, I believe that the team's president Stevens will definitely have a surprise to bring to the majority of Green Army fans. If you don't believe me, we'll see!
