Kristaps Porzingis' exit from the Boston Celtics was made official on Monday, July 7. The veteran big man was sent to the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team trade that also included the Brooklyn Nets. Atlanta announced the deal via a press release, confirming the talented big man will now team up with Trae Young on Quin Snyder's roster.

The Atlanta Hawks officially acquired veteran center Kristaps Porzingis to team up with star guard Trae Young in a three-team trade involving the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets. The Celtics sent Porzingis as part of a salary-clearing deal that brought in Georges Niang and allowed Boston to avoid luxury tax penalties.

Jayson Tatum's injury has also forced the Celtics to reassess their future. Thankfully, the team has been able to hold onto Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Those two players will stick around as the main core of the roster around Tatum when he returns from the torn Achilles that he suffered during the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
