Less than one week after the Atlanta Hawks shipped out the longest-tenured player on the roster, John Collins, they once again pulled the trigger on a trade.
“Atlanta sends out the draft rights to Alpha Kaba to Houston for TyTy Washington, Usman Garuba, ‘28 HOU 2nd, ‘25 MIN 2nd and $1.1m cash,” tweeted Lauren L. Williams of the Atlanta Journal-Constituion on July 1 providing confirmation and context to an earlier tweet from Shams Charania of The Athletic.
This deal is less of a blockbuster than the Collins trade but could have significant implications.
