""I just think the NBA is the land of the unknown. As much as people think it was [messed] up or crazy, it happened. This is professional sports. It wasn't meant to be understood. That's just how it goes. Obviously being from here you want to play for your hometown team, but I don't think as a professional athlete you have enough time to be heartbroken or upset. You just move on and go along. It's just another part of the journey.""
""I got a little time in the Summer league. It was just brief. I'm from here, I live here. Other than that, it was just the business aspect of changing jerseys and moving on from there.""
""But, like I said, this is a business. My best advice to anybody is to not let your emotions get in the way of business."}],"
Georges Niang, a Methuen native, briefly joined the Boston Celtics as part of a trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis to Atlanta and was shortly moved to Utah. He spent limited time in Boston during summer league and described team interactions as welcoming, including lunch with Joe Mazzulla and candid conversations with Brad Stevens, whom he praised for transparency. After ten years in the league across five franchises, Niang framed short stays and trades as routine NBA business and advised against letting emotions interfere, viewing transitions as part of a professional athlete's journey.
