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.

Kristaps Porzingis became a fan-favorite over his two seasons playing for the Boston Celtics. That said, the Celtics have officially traded the 2024 NBA Champion to the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team deal.

The Knicks believe that Brown is the player who can help them take the next step and truly contend for a championship next season. They'll also be in a prime position to take advantage of a weaker Eastern Conference, with the Boston Celtics missing Jayson Tatum and the Pacers missing Tyrese Haliburton.

During his first run as a head coach, Brown took the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2006-07, only to get swept by Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs. Two seasons later, Brown guided the Cavs to a franchise-record 66 wins and a spot in the Eastern Conference finals, earning him his first Coach of the Year Award.

The New York Knicks have hired Mike Brown as their next head coach, they announced Monday. The decision marks the end of a lengthy process that followed New York's surprising decision to fire former Coach of the Year Tom Thibodeau following a six-game loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.
