BREAKING: Atlanta Hawks land Kristaps Porzingis in 3-team trade #nba #atlantahawks #atlanta #hawks
hello friends my name is Brad Roland and the Hawks make a big-time trade on the day before the draft acquiring Chrisaps Porzingis as part of a three-team deal with Boston and Brooklyn the Hawks will be sending out the rights to Terrence Man and George Niang as well as a 22nd pick in the first round reportedly in this instant reaction there’s a second round pick coming back to Atlanta that is still unclear at this point which pick that is but the crux of this is that the Hawks are adding a very intriguing piece in Porzingis there is some risk with his health history he was banged up at times he’s been actually sick at times this last season in Boston but when he plays he’s a very effective player and he also checks a lot of boxes he is the true mythical seven-footer that Hawk’s been looking for for a long time and importantly Porzingis is the very rare player who can play rim protection defensively and also spread the floor as a shooter offensively that allows him to play with a Congu if possible also with Jaylen Johnson a clean fit there again risk about his durability and availability but a good ad there for the Hawks and while giving up a first round pick for an expiring contract and that is what Porzingis is is risky the Hawks kind of negate that by getting off of Terrence Mann’s contract um that was the one bit of kind of uneven money on the Hawks books man’s deal was three more seasons and uh the Hawks have been kind of pedalling that contract to a lot of the league in recent days but in the end sending out man and niang adding Porzingis they’ll have to add to the depth as they go two for one here but Porzingis is obviously the best player of the deal by a wide margin and an upside swing for the Hawks if it works out this raises the ceiling of the team considerably and if it doesn’t the downside risk is not as big because it is an expiring contract we’ll get into all the details my full analysis and more unlocked on Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks took a big swing on Tuesday, adding Kristaps Porzingis in a blockbuster, three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets.

Terrible trade. We have now one guy who lives in the medical departament.
Wild 😂 At least it isn’t a huge commitment
And we got off Terrence Mann!!!🎉
Thank you, Brad. Finally we make a noteworthy move. If he stays healthy, I don't mind what we gave up. Hawks fans who may not have payed attention should know this is a good trade. If our front office is trying to make moves, remember we are ATL, so make moves (good ones) and let's compete!!! Go Hawks!
He could keep Nance jr company. Unless he facilitates the front office letting him go.
Go Hawks!
Great trade! And we kept the $25 million exception?! Unbelievable
Great deal for the Hawks! They get to keep their #13 pick. The injury issues are a concern, but it is definitely worth the risk.
If the Atlanta Hawks is going to trade for Kristaps Porzingis, the Hawks management might as well sign current free agent James Wiseman lol.
Not Niang and the 22nd pick. :/
What a great trade! Let’s go hawks!
OMGG!!!!!!! No Fucking Way!!!!!!!!! OMGGGGGGG!!!
lets goooooo
Pretty much a one year rental maybe a resign next summer but we get off Niang and Mann and open rotation spots for our new rookie and possible new FAs this summer
This is amazing news 👏🏻 Let's go!
Hawks Didn’t really give up anything so that’s good.
Is this a real trade? Hawks don’t make these kinds of trades aimed at winning.
Ive said for years that Porzingis is a perfect pick n pop partner for Trae, but figured we'd never be able to afford him. Great move IMO, and we kept OO to play big minutes when KP rests. Perfect timing with the East looking open in 25-26. The Onsi Era is off to a good start!!
Smiling ear to ear that we got off Mann's deal
lets gooo
Great. A guy who gets hurt to go along with a tes, that struggles with injuries
GOT DAMB!!!!! GOT DAMB!!!!! They just got INJURED CC AGAIN!!!! FONK!!!! IWith a shot but he stay INJURED! You gotta get to the playoffs to use him.. smh.
Now draft Maxime at 13 resign Levert
This guy can’t stay healthy. Trading for a injury prone player.😫😫😫
We FLEECED the Celtics. Are you telling me this was the best offer for a player like KP? Unbelievable !!
onsi did his big one
No more Landry Fields bad trades
It’s at least interesting. Kinda wanted a big and a pg from the draft but oh well.
Yes! Hawks acting like a serious franchise. They trade for precisely what they needed: Length and 3pt shooting. They get both in KP and they gave up bench. KP does have a significant downside though: Injuries and health. But I think the reward is much higher than the risk. Surprisingly good Hawks FO move!
How hype u yall?
i was liking niang but porzingus is great for us!
