POIRIER PICKED UP BY OKC

The Oklahoma City Thunder acquired center Vincent Poirier from the Boston Celtics for a future second-round draft pick.

What does it give the Oklahoma City Thunder
Poirier will try to land the backup center job in Oklahoma City in 2020-21, though vet Mike Muscala is still around and OKC also has high hopes for '20 first-rounder Aleksei Pokusevski.

What does it give the Boston Celtics
The Celtics have a glut of centers (Daniel Theis; Enes Kanter; Robert Williams III and Tacko Fall), so they could afford to move on from Poirier at this time.

Fantasy impact
Do not expect Poirier to make much of a dent in fantasy leagues this season.
