The Celtics reportedly strike another pre-Draft deal, this one centered on sending Kristaps Porziņģis to the Hawks.

After getting traded to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, Kristaps Porziņģis expressed his gratitude toward the Boston Celtics and their fans on Wednesday morning.

Now, the Celtics are sending center Kristaps Porziņģis and a second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal with the Brooklyn Nets that sees Boston taking back the contract of Georges Niang ($8.2 million) and a second-rounder, meaning they clear over $22 million off Porziņģis' $30.7 million salaty.
