BOSTON (AP) – Danny Ainge made more moves at the NBA trading deadline on Thursday, sending Mike James to Detroit for guards Chucky Atkins and Lindsey Hunter and the Pistons’ first-round draft pick this year.

The Celtics also shipped injured forward Chris Mills to Atlanta in a three-team deal that sent troubled star Rasheed Wallace to Detroit after just one game for the Hawks. The Pistons sent center Zeljko Rebraca, guard Bob Sura and a first-round draft pick to the Hawks.

Atlanta acquired Wallace from Portland last week along with reserve Wesley Person for Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Theo Ratliff and Dan Dickau.

Atkins is averaging six points, 2.4 assists and 1.2 rebounds in just under 19 minutes this season. In his five-year career, he is averaging 10 points, 3.4 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 24 minutes.

Hunter has appeared in 11 games for the Pistons this season, averaging just under four points with 1.5 assists and one rebounds in 16 minutes. In 11 years, he has averaged of 10 points, 3 assists and 2.5 rebounds.

James appeared in 55 games for the Celtics this season, averaging 10.7 points, 4.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds. Mills has not played for Boston, spending the entire season on the injured list with bone spurs in his right Achilles.

Thursday’s trade continues Ainge’s overhaul since he took over as the team’s director of basketball operations in the middle of last spring’s playoffs.

Ainge swapped Boston’s two first-round choices on the night of the draft, but that was just a warmup for his biggest move: trading Antoine Walker to Dallas Mavericks nine days before the season opener.

After that came two trades with Cleveland that sent J.R. Bremer, Bruno Sundov, Eric Williams, Tony Battie and Kedrick Brown to the Cavailers. Plus, coach Jim O’Brien resigned because of philosophical differences with Ainge, and Vin Baker was released for failing to control his drinking.

The Pistons figure Wallace, who’s averaging 17.1 points and 6.6 rebounds, can provide frontcourt help for the playoffs. They had the best record in the East last season but were swept by the New Jersey Nets in the conference finals.

Under first-year coach Larry Brown, Detroit is 34-22 and in second place in the Central Division.

In his eighth NBA season, Wallace’s contract and turbulent history made him a prime trade candidate this season. He’s in the final year of a contract that pays him $17 million this year.

Wallace was called for a league-record 41 technical fouls in the 2000-01 season. Last season, he and teammate Damon Stoudamire were cited in Washington state on marijuana charges while returning from a game in Seattle.

Then the NBA suspended Wallace for seven games for threatening an official on an arena loading dock after a home game. That was the longest NBA suspension for something that didn’t involve physical contact or substance abuse.
