It looked like the deal would fall apart after news broke that trade talks between the three teams had fallen apart, but with Boston and Washington looking for new partners, the trade appears to be moving forward.
Porzingis, a former All-Star center, played in 65 games last season, averaging 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. The 23.2 points were a career-high.
He joins Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in a new trio in Boston.
