There was no blockbuster deal.
The Hawks remained mostly intact as the NBA trade deadline came and went Thursday. The lack of a major move was a clear indication of the franchise’s belief in its roster and what it is capable of achieving. How the rest of the season plays out from that belief remains to be seen.
The Hawks worked a three-team trade with the Bulls and Jazz. They added guard Kirk Hinrich from the Bulls, sent guard Shelvin Mack to the Jazz and sent guard/forward Justin Holiday to the Bulls. The Jazz also sent a 2018 second-round pick (that came from the Nuggets) to the Bulls.
