US EditionHawks acquire Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis in 3-team trade
- On Monday night, the Boston Celtics traded veteran guard Jrue Holiday in a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, receiving Anfernee Simons and two second-round draft picks in return.
- This move aimed to reduce the Celtics' salary commitments as they needed to save money and remain under the NBA's second luxury tax apron.
- Shortly thereafter, the Celtics finalized a three-team deal that sent Porzingis along with a second-round draft selection to the Atlanta Hawks, bringing Georges Niang and a different second-round pick back to Boston.
- Over the course of 99 games in two seasons with Boston, Porzingis has averaged nearly 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and close to 2 blocks per game while making just over half of his field goal attempts.
- These trades lowered Boston's payroll by approximately $22.5 million and saved the team an estimated $180 million in tax penalties, providing salary cap relief and flexibility for future roster decisions.
