Boston has traded Chris Boucher, cash and a 2027 second-round pick to Utah for John Tonje, per the official transaction record. The second-rounder is Denver's own pick. The Celtics also picked up a trade exception in the deal.
Kevin Love is still an unrestricted free agent after spending last season with Utah, where he averaged 12.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per 36 minutes off the bench. Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes floated the Lakers as a fit who could use a veteran exception to sign him.
Utah has signed forward Taylor Funk. He averaged 11.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 41 games for the San Diego Clippers' G League affiliate last season. Funk also has G League experience with the Capital City Go-Go and the Maine Celtics in prior years.
