The Boston Celtics have made their second significant trade in as many days. Less than a day after sending Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers, they have dealt Kristaps Porziņģis and a second-round pick to the Atlanta 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.
