This was not the first trade of the day, as the Atlanta Hawks are sending guard Jeff Teague to the Indiana Pacers. Indiana will send guard George Hill to the Jazz, who are moving the No. 12 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft to Atlanta.
As Wojnarowski comments: “With the move, Atlanta is committing to guard Dennis Schroder as its point guard of the future”.
