Celtics Trade Porzingis To Atlanta, Continuing Their Roster Remake
Kristaps Porzingis will be doing his rim-rattling in Atlanta after being traded from Boston to the ... More Hawks. (Photo by) A Boston Celtics' remake that seemed inevitable after the devastating playoff injury to Jayson Tatum took full flight on Tuesday, on the eve of he 2025 NBA Draft. The Celtics made their second major trade in less than 24 hours when they pulled off a three-team deal with Atlanta and Brooklyn that will send forward Kristaps Porzingis and a 2025 second round draft pick to the Hawks, ESPN reported, citing sources. That move came a day after Boston agreed to trade point guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for off guard Anfernee Simons and two second-round draft picks. In the shakeup the Celtics lost two starters and acquired one, also adding veteran reserve forward Georges Niang and a second-round pick from the Hawks, but the motivation was the bottom line. The reorganization was a recognition by president of basketball operations Brad Stevens that without Tatum, the Celtics are best served to retrench and regroup while whittling their payroll to a more manageable level. Tatum, the Celtics' leading scorer and two-time first-team All-NBA forward, is expected to miss most if not all if the of the 2025-26 season after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in his right leg in Game 4 of the 2025 second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks on May 12. Without Tatum, the NBA Eastern Conference could be as wide open as it has been in recent seasons. Tatum is due $54 million in the 2025-26 season, the first year of a five-year, $313.9 million designated veteran contract extension signed before the 2024-25 season. Holiday has three years and $103 million remaining on the four-year extension he signed before last season, and Porzingis is due $30.7 million in 2025-26. He will be an unrestricted free agent next summer. Boston started its restructuring by trading Jrue Holiday to Portland on Monday. (Photo by Alex ...) By trading the two veterans, Boston dropped below the punitive 'second apron' of the NBA tax structure and could save as much as $180 million in projected tax penalties. Teams that are above the second apron are severely restricted in the trades then can make. Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who signed a five-year, $285.4 million extension, before the 2024-205 season, are the two highest paid players on the Celtics' roster, and guard Derrick White ($28.1) million this season is the only other player earning more than $10.1 million in 2025-26. Niang is due $8.2 million this season in the last year of an expiring contract. Fallout From the Boston/Portland Trade Both teams made out. Not only are the Celtics acquiring a shooting guard who can add to coach Joe Mazzulla's long-range approach in Simons, they also are adding an expiring contract that can help them rework the roster when Tatum come back in 2026-27. Simons has averaged 19.9 points and 3.2 3-pointers per game shooting 38.1 percent from distance while since becoming a regular in the Blazers' rotation in 2021-22. He is to make $27.6. million this season and will become an unrestricted free agent next summer. No one shoots the three more than Boston, and Simons will complement Brown, White and reserve guard Payton Pritchard, the NBA Sixth Man of the Year last season. Holiday, who won an NBA championship with Milwaukee in 2021, gives the Blazers a veteran and a true point guard to go with Shaedon Sharpe and combo guard Scoot Henderson. Is Brooklyn Making a Play for an Ace? Ace Bailey has been subject of draft day speculation. Does Brooklyn have enough to land him? (Photo ... More by) The Nets now have five picks -- No. 8, No. 19, No. 22, No. 26 and No. 27 — in the Wednesday's first round, and they may be working on a package to land Ace Bailey, whose stock has fallen recently but show talent remains. Utah, which has the No. 5 pick and still in a rebuilding phase, could. be a player in that scenario. Atlanta adds Kristaps to a young group that includes point Trae Young, 2024 No. 1 overall Zaccahrie Risacher, forward Jalen Johnson and guard Dyson Daniels, a 2025 NBA Defensive Player of the Year finalist.

Federal judge orders Trump administration to release EV charger funding in 14 states
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in funding for the build out of electric vehicle chargers in more than a dozen states. U.S. District Judge Tana Lin in Washington state partially granted a preliminary injunction that sought to free up the money approved under then-President Joe Biden that the Trump administration withheld earlier this year. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia sued over the move, arguing that the administration did not have the authority to block the congressionally approved funds. The program was set to allocate $5 billion over five years to various states, of which an estimated $3.3 billion had already been made available. Lin ordered that funding be released in 14 of the states, including in Arizona, California and New York. But she denied granting the preliminary injunction for D.C., Minnesota and Vermont, saying that they did not provide enough evidence that they would face 'irreparable harm' if the money wasn't immediately freed up. Lin said the Trump administration overstepped its constitutional authority when it froze the funding previously approved by Congress in 2021 as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. 'When the Executive Branch treads upon the will of the Legislative Branch, and when an administrative agency acts contrary to law, it is the Court's responsibility to remediate the situation and restore the balance of power,' she wrote. The order will go into effect July 2 unless the Trump administration appeals. The Federal Highway Administration did not immediately respond to an email request for comment on the decision. The Trump administration in February directed states to stop spending money for electric vehicle charging under the program. The move was part of a broader push by the Republican president to roll back environmental policies advanced by his Democratic predecessor. States suing the Trump administration said the decision to freeze funding halted projects midstream, requiring immediate court intervention. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, said after the ruling that the Trump administration could not 'dismiss programs illegally.' 'We are pleased with today's order blocking the Administration's unconstitutional attempt to do so, and California looks forward to continuing to vigorously defend itself from this executive branch overreach,' he said in a statement. The Trump administration argued that it was working on new guidance for the program and was only pausing future funding in the meantime. The program was meant to assuage concerns about electric vehicles and build infrastructure along highway corridors first, then address gaps elsewhere once the state highway obligations were met. Some states with projects running under the program have already been reimbursed by the Biden-era federal funds. Others are still contracting for their sites. Still more had halted their plans by the time the Trump administration ordered states to stop their spending. Regardless, getting the chargers installed and operating has been a slow process with contracting challenges, permitting delays and complex electrical upgrades. It was expected that states would fight against the federal government's efforts to slow the nation's electric vehicle charger build out. New York, for example, which is part of the lawsuit, has been awarded over $175 million in federal funds from the program, and state officials say $120 million is currently being withheld by the Trump administration.
