PORTLAND PICKS UP BANTON

The Portland Trail Blazers acquired guard Dalano Banton and cash considerations from the Boston Celtics for a protected second-round draft pick.

What does it give the Portland Trail Blazers
Banton has talent, so he might get an opportunity to showcase some of his skills in Portland (after being buried on the bench with the Celtics).

What does it give the Boston Celtics
The Celtics will get a draft pick at some point in return for Banton, which seems like a win for the team (since Banton was not playing much at all this season).

Fantasy impact
In very deep leagues, Banton might be worth a look. However, he can also be left on the waiver wire or free-agent bin.
