In the deal, which also sent the Jazz a pair of second round draft picks, Boston also got back two way player Luis Jr., whose salary as a two way prospect does not count against the team's cap hits. But what can Boucher and Luis Jr.

The Celtics reportedly are trading recently acquired forward Georges Niang and 2 future second-round draft picks to the Utah Jazz in exchange for rookie RJ Luis Jr.

Boston, which will be without star Jayson Tatum for most of the year after he suffered a torn Achilles, is clearly looking to save money this season. After trading Niang and signing Boucher, the Celtics are now $6.9 million below the second apron and $5 million over the first apron.
