The Celtics dealt Kristaps Porzingis to the Hawks in a trade that slimmed their payroll, but they still had to say farewell to one of their starters.

Kristaps Porziņģi said he's "super, super excited" about his post-trade prospects. After two years with the Boston Celtics , Porziņģis was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team trade that saw the Celtics receive George Niang and a second-round draft pick.
