This trade-deadline appears to have been one of the busier ones for the Atlanta Hawks in recent memory. Not since they traded for Kirk Hinrich the first time, in 2011, have we seen a rotation player join this team. I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing, but it’s something.
The team first traded away Tiago Splitter, Miami’s 2017 second round pick (top 40 protected, which then is unprotected in 2018), and swap rights for Atlanta’s 2017 second round pick (Atlanta will end up with Golden State’s 2nd round pick) for Ersan Ilyasova and a $150,000 trade exception.
