The Atlanta Hawks finally traded John Collins this off-season. I was not for a great return but that is what is going to happen when a team is dumping salary. However, the moves that the Hawks made put them in a really solid position moving forward.
To summarize their moves, the Hawks traded Collins for Rudy Gay and two future second-round picks. They were also part of a five-team trade that sent Alpha Kaba out for Usman Garuba and TyTy Washington. The Hawks then flipped all of these players to the OKC Thunder for Patty Mills who is a veteran and a proven winner who can help the second unit.
