The Boston Celtics are involved in a three-team trade with the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets. Kristaps Porzingis is going to the Hawks in exchange for Terrance Mann and the No. 22 draft pick going to the Nets from Atlanta, and Georges Niang and a second-round pick going to the Celtics from Atlanta. The Celtics are shedding salary to get below the NBA's second tax apron. This is the second major trade for Boston in two days, following the Jrue Holiday trade to Portland. The moves reflect the Celtics' response to Jayson Tatum's injury and lowered championship expectations.
