Hawks Acquire Aaron Wiggins From Thunder For Two Second-Round Picks
The Atlanta Hawks are acquiring Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for two second-round picks. The Hawks will send the Thunder their own pick in 2030 and the least favorable of their own pick and the Los Angeles Lakers pick in 2032. This move is part of the Thunder clearing space under the aprons to bring back other players. Wiggins, who is represented by Austin Brown, was set to count for just over 9 million on the books for Oklahoma City next season. Wiggins averaged 9.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 21.8 minutes across 65 games this past season. Wiggins shot 35.6 percent on three-pointers this past season. Atlanta, who earlier on Sunday agreed to an extension with veteran guard C.J. McCollum, now adds to their wing depth with Wiggins. The six-year veteran is under contract through the 2028-29 season, with the final being a team option.
