Kristaps Porzingis' short stint with the Boston Celtics ended Tuesday night as he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal involving the Brooklyn Nets. The move was reportedly financially driven for Boston, who received Georges Niang and a second-round pick in return. Porzingis expressed gratitude towards the Celtics organization, coaches, staff, teammates, and fans on social media, stating Boston holds a special place in his heart. With Porzingis entering the final year of his contract, a future return to Boston isn't entirely ruled out.
