After the news that Holiday was sent back to the Trail Blazers, US media revealed that the Celtics did not stop selling the contracts in their hands. The first one was their inside player Porzingis. Just now, famous reporter Shams updated the social media report that the Celtics had reached a three-party deal with the Nets and the Hawks.

The Hawks will get Porzingis and a second-round pick, the Nets will get Terence Mann, and the 22nd first-round draft pick from Atlanta, while the Celtics will get George Nian and a second-round pick.

Two consecutive trades allowed the Celtics to successfully terminate the contract pressure and did not make them lose any draft picks. On the contrary, they won three second round picks in these two trades. The US media posted a message to sigh: "Brad Stevens is a god!"

Porzingis played 42 games for the team this season, averaging 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 per game. Assisted, in the playoffs, Porzingis was in poor form due to illness. He averaged 20.9 minutes per game in 11 games, scoring only 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds, and his three shooting percentages were only 31.6%, 15.4% and 68.9%. Former Celtics player Marcus Morris also said in an interview with a program: Porzingis is not the kind of player the Celtics needs, and he failed to meet the team’s expectations for him!

According to statistics, after sending Porzingis and Holiday away continuously through transactions, the Celtics have saved about $238 million in luxury taxes. They have successfully reduced the luxury tax to less than $4.5 million in the second tyrant line.
