Atlanta Hawks Trade Terance Mann, No. 22 Pick to Brooklyn Nets

Terance Mann, a former Florida State standout and current NBA player, was part of a significant three-team trade involving the Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, and Boston Celtics. Mann was traded from the Hawks to the Nets, while the Hawks received Kristaps Porziņģis and a second-round pick, and the Celtics acquired Georges Niang and a second-round pick. Mann, originally drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2019, has steadily contributed in the NBA and expressed excitement about returning to Brooklyn, his birthplace. The trade, which also included the No. 22 overall pick going to the Nets, is pending finalization on July 6, with the possibility that Mann could be rerouted again. Brooklyn absorbed Mann's $47 million contract as a salary dump but may value his veteran presence alongside younger players. Mann's role with the Nets remains to be defined, but he could see an expanded role as the team integrates rookies and seeks experienced leadership.
