Hawks Announce Blockbuster NBA Trade With Celtics originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's official. The Atlanta Hawks announced the completion of their blockbuster three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

After two seasons with the team, the Boston Celtics traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team trade with the Brooklyn Nets earlier this offseason. This trade was widely anticipated due to Boston looking to move under the second apron, and the Latvian native is now officially on his third team in four years.

The Hawks are one of 7 teams involved in a trade involving multiple players that will enable the Houston Rockets to end up with Kevin Durant. By taking part in the trade, Atlanta agreed to a contract with center Clint Capela and then sent Capela to the Rockets. The Hawks also sent two-way guard/forward Daeqwon Plowdon to the Phoenix Suns.
