Back in 2017, Indiana Pacers stud Paul George was the biggest name on the NBA trade market. Many teams made huge offers to the Pacers for the 26-year-old All-Star, although he was not traded until that off-season, landing in OKC. One of the teams that made an offer was the Atlanta Hawks.
The news didn’t break until a few months after, but in May, ESPN writer Brian Windhorst reported that the Atlanta Hawks had offered four first-round picks for PG-13.
At that time, the Hawks were just two seasons removed from the 60-win season that netted them the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
