In the immediate aftermath of the 2017 trade deadline, word broke that the Atlanta Hawks reportedly offered “aggressive” trade packages for both Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler and Indiana Pacers forward Paul George.

Several teams made trade offers for George in February, including the Atlanta Hawks, who offered four first-round picks in exchange for him.
