Hawks Complete NBA's First Seven-Team Trade, Acquire David Roddy

The Atlanta Hawks have made significant moves in the NBA offseason, completing a blockbuster three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets to acquire forward/center Kristaps Porziņģis. In exchange, the Hawks sent forward Georges Niang and a 2031 second-round pick to Boston, and guard Terance Mann along with the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to Brooklyn, which sent cash considerations to Boston. Porziņģis, a 2018 NBA All-Star with a career average of 19.6 points and 7.8 rebounds, brings championship experience and a strong ability to shoot from beyond the arc, adding versatility to the Hawks' roster. Additionally, Atlanta participated in the NBA's first-ever seven-team trade, acquiring David Roddy and a 2031 second-round pick swap via Houston, while trading away two-way guard/forward Daeqwon Plowden to Phoenix. Roddy, who played parts of the 2024-25 season with Atlanta and Houston, returns to the Hawks for a fresh start after averaging 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 33 games last season. These transactions highlight the Hawks' active strategy to bolster their lineup and asset base for the coming seasons.
