Hawks acquire Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis in 3-team trade

  • On Monday night, the Boston Celtics finalized a three-team trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis along with a second-round draft selection to the Atlanta Hawks.
  • This trade followed a prior deal sending Jrue Holiday to Portland to reduce salary amid a need to lower luxury tax penalties.
  • As part of the three-team deal, Boston acquired Georges Niang along with a second-round draft selection from Atlanta, while Terance Mann and Atlanta's own draft choice were sent to Brooklyn.
  • Porzingis averaged 19.8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game, and trading his $30.7 million expiring contract saved Boston $4.7 million for 2025.
  • These moves lowered Boston's payroll to $203 million, placed them $4 million below the second luxury tax apron, and signaled further possible roster changes.
