While Springer\u2019s arrival, carrying defensive promise and youth, drew most of the coverage and attention last month, Boston quietly made a corresponding move to maintain roster flexibility and save some tax money, trading <strong>Dalano Banton<\/strong> to Portland for a second-round pick almost certain to not convey.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OSrXQv\">\u201cI wasn\u2019t bummed,\u201d Banton told\u00a0<em>CLNS Media <\/em>on Wednesday before his Blazers faced the Hawks. \u201cIt\u2019s the NBA, it\u2019s the business side of things. You\u2019ve gotta be able to push through things that come your way. We know how it is as players, so it\u2019s nothing to be bummed about &#8230; it was a great opportunity (in Boston), great organization. Wish them the best and thank them for helping me prepare for my opportunity here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Dalano Banton &#039;Wasn&#039;t Bummed&quot; By Trade From Celtics | Exclusive Interview\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KB_2AP53Gno?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"VfUifx\">With Boston off \u2014 practicing between games in Atlanta \u2014 Banton started and unloaded one of his most dominant performances as a pro in a loss to the Hawks. He scored 31 points in 37 minutes, shot 13-for-23, hit five threes in 11 tries while posting five rebounds, nine assists and a pair of steals. In 22 games with Portland, he\u2019s averaging 15.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists, shooting 43.2% from the field and 36.2% from three.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZI5mCZ\">Scores of Blazers injuries, including to former Celtic <strong>Malcolm Brogdon<\/strong>, gave Banton free rein at the point guard position. An obvious factor in his big numbers. Between Boston and Portland, his minutes increased by 20 per game, he\u2019s taking 11.3 more shot attempts each night and unloading over five threes after averaging 0.7 per appearance with the Celtics.<\/p>\n<p id=\"k2dabW\">\u201cHe\u2019s always been talented,\u201d <strong>Derrick White<\/strong> said on Thursday. \u201cA guy that can score the ball in many different ways. He\u2019s getting a chance to show that for everybody else. It\u2019s good to see him going out there, being aggressive and showing that world what he can do. The NBA is kind of tough, where you\u2019re at, your role and your opportunity. He was always working hard and he was ready for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"ML2nqt\">\u201cNot every situation is the same. Obviously, what we asked him to do here was not to do that, and obviously, whatever is his situation in Portland is, they\u2019re asking him to do something like that. So you just gotta understand your role, understand your situation. He played well for us when he got his time and he\u2019s playing well for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Derrick White: Payton Pritchard Should&#039;ve Won Player of the Week | Celtics vs Hawks\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uTd2kUs5h88?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"FGsgHP\">The Celtics tried to find pockets, including a spot start at Philadelphia, to integrate Banton in a crowded back court and forward position after signing him to a two-year flier last summer. He participated in Summer League, showed up to Boston early to learn the offseason and how to screen more often playing off-ball. Early preseason results showed promise, but he struggled immensely to put the ball in the basket when the regular season began \u2014 shooting 37.3% from the field and 12.5% from three.<\/p>\n<p id=\"90GVjB\">Former Toronto head coach <strong>Nick Nurse<\/strong> commented early this season how some days he looked great, and others not so much. Even his current head coach<strong> Chauncey Billups<\/strong> admitted this statistical output probably isn\u2019t an accurate depiction on who Banton will be when Portland progresses in its rebuild. The Blazers have an opportunity to pick up his second-year team option ($2.2M) Boston initially received in the contract. He turns 25 next season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"dYW4CP\">\u201cHe\u2019s a scorer,\u201d Billups said. \u201cObviously, you guys are seeing him play with other guys that are real role players. So I don\u2019t think this is Dalano, where he\u2019s getting 28 and 30 and 26 (points), but he\u2019s capable of doing that. Guys like him, when you have a full deck and you have everybody out there, you don\u2019t have those type of opportunities, but he\u2019s a guy that can come off the bench and get hot for you &#8230; it\u2019s guys like that who sit on these benches for a long time that finally get an opportunity to show that they can play and that they belong, that\u2019s exactly what he\u2019s done. He\u2019s been a pleasant surprise. He\u2019s much better than I even thought he was. I\u2019ve only coached against him a few times and those were spot minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Chauncey Billups CAN&#039;T WAIT to Coach Robert Williams and Malcolm Brogdon Again\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6CBUD15rVz0?start=72&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div><strong>Payton Pritchard<\/strong> similarly emerged late this season with expanded opportunity (17.7 PPG, 7.7 APG, 51.3% FG, 45.2% 3PT last 6) after signing a four-year extension. <strong>Sam Hauser<\/strong> and <strong>Luke Kornet<\/strong> will look to prove they can perform as a depth wing and big, respectively, in the playoffs for the first time. Acquiring Springer showed the team\u2019s desire to develop cheaper young talent deeper on the roster. While early in his integration into Boston\u2019s system, receiving similarly limited opportunities to Banton, Springer continued his offensive struggles from Philadelphia across 13 Celtics appearances (6-18 FG, 0-7 3PT).<\/div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"rzzXNj\">Boston assigned him to Maine while they played in Atlanta on Tuesday, and he scored 26 points on 11-for-18 shooting (1-2 3PT). While he brings more defensive promise the Celtics might\u2019ve liked the idea of utilizing in small playoff situations, he brings less size and positional versatility than Banton did at 6-8.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Vzbnou\">It\u2019s too early to say if dumping the latter will cost Boston, more focused on its championship pursuit than the long haul, but it could provide some warning against moving on from a young player too soon. <strong>Aaron Nesmith<\/strong> emerged in a similar manner at Indiana and the Celtics never filled their 15th roster spot.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9O4EJE\">\u201cI don\u2019t know if I agree that every player can play like that (with opportunity),\u201d <strong>Kristaps Porzingis<\/strong> said on Thursday. \u201cDalano definitely has the talent. A lot of it is confidence, knowing that if you make two mistakes in a row, you\u2019re not gonna come out. It\u2019s not that high pressure team. Here, he has a little bit more freedom, I think. That gives him the confidence to go out there, try new stuff, be aggressive and he has the talent to do these kind of things and have these kind of games. So it\u2019s definitely good to see him happy and enjoying basketball like this, and just playing free.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATLANTA \u2014 The\u00a0Celtics\u00a0and\u00a076ers\u00a0surprised many before the deadline by swinging a trade that sent guard prospect Jaden Springer between rivals in the middle of his rookie deal in an effective salary dump.
