The NBA trade deadline is still a couple weeks away, but three teams didn’t want to wait. On Tuesday night, the Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs agreed to a three-team trade that sends Juancho Hernangomez to the Spurs, Bryn Forbes to the Nuggets, and Bol Bol and PJ Dozier to Celtics, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Getting off of Hernangomez’s contract could help the Celtics avoid the luxury tax, plus they get a couple of promising young players in Bol and Dozier, though Dozier is sidelined for the rest of the current campaign with a torn ACL, and he will be a free agent after the season.

The Nuggets already attempted to deal Bol to the Detroit Pistons earlier this month, but the trade fell through after Bol failed a physical.
