The Boston Celtics made two significant trades in two days. First, they sent Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and second-round picks. Then, in a three-team deal involving the Nets and Hawks, they traded Kristaps Porzingis to Atlanta for Georges Niang and a future second-round pick, significantly reducing their massive luxury tax bill. These moves, driven by salary cap concerns and Jayson Tatum's injury, leave the Celtics without three starters from their championship team. The team will now focus on re-signing free agents and potentially using their newly created traded player exception.
