The National Basketball Association is one of the pre-eminent sport Leagues in the world and every Thursday, Bleacher Report will bring you a round-up of all the action on and off court Stateside. Newsmaker Brandan Wright. Less than a month after the Celtics acquired the veteran forward from Dallas in the Rajon Rondo trade, the team moved him on to the Phoenix Suns. 'The Boston Celtics have acquired a future conditional Minnesota first-round pick and a trade exception from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for forward/center Brandan Wright,' the team stated on its website. He's an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, and with Boston in rebuilding mode, the team was better off dealing the 27-year-old than letting him leave in the offseason for nothing. Between his time with the Celtics and Dallas Mavericks, the 27-year-old was averaging 7.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks a game.
