It looks like Gary Payton will be back to wearing a greenish uniform for the 3rd time in his career.

An NBA source told ESPN.com's Bill Simmons that the Celtics have dealt Chris Mihm (in a sign-and-trade), guards Marcus Banks and Chucky Atkins and a future second-round pick to Los Angeles for Payton, Rick Fox and a lottery-protected first-round draft pick.

Boston will also receive cash in the deal.

The Celtics have scheduled a 4 p.m. ET news conference to announce the trade.
