Celtics cut ties with Big East Player of the Year who they just traded for

Apparently the Boston Celtics didn't want RJ Luis after all.

He was their return in the trade that sent the Utah Jazz a pair of second-round picks and Georges Niang.

But on Wednesday, the Celtics waived Luis, according to Michael Scotto .

Luis was on a two-way contract, but it seems Boston didn't want him to have that anymore.

If he clears waivers, he could end up in the G League.

Luis is coming off a Big East Player of the Year season for St. John's.

It wasn't obvious how his game would translate to the NBA, and so he wasn't drafted, and now he's already been discarded.

It's still a bit weird.
