Wednesday's NBA draft has apparently spurred teams across the league into making some major trades, and the Boston Celtics have been smack at the center of the action. The 2024 champs traded Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons on Monday before completing the demolition of their title core with a big three-team trade involving Kristaps Porzingis on Tuesday.
With about 24 hours to go before the draft, the Celtics reportedly agreed to trade Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks. The Brooklyn Nets also got in on the action. The final tally: the Hawks acquire Porzingis and a future second-round pick, the Nets receive the No. 22 pick in the draft along with Terance Mann, and the Celtics get Georges Niang and a future second-rounder.
