After two noteworthy seasons with the Celtics, Kristaps Porzingis is penning a new chapter with the Hawks.
With Boston facing a serious cap crunch amid mounting luxury-tax penalties, Brad Stevens and the Celtics were forced to move on from multiple key pieces on their roster, headlined by the trades of both Porzingis and Jrue Holiday.
Porzingis — who was entering the final year of his contract with Boston in 2025-26 — was traded to Atlanta in a three-team deal last month that also included the Nets, with the Celtics freeing up some payroll in the process.
