India, June 25 -- The Boston Celtics have made another big roster move ahead of the new NBA season. In a three-team trade involving the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets, Boston is bringing in veteran forward Georges Niang, along with a second-round draft pick, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

The deal saw Boston send Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to Atlanta, while Brooklyn received Terance Mann and the No. 22 pick in this year's draft from the Hawks.

Now, in return, the Celtics received Niang, Atlanta's second-rounder, and Cleveland's 2031 second-round pick, which Atlanta had previously acquired. Atlanta will take on Boston's least favourable second-round pick in 2026, sources told ESPN.
