The Atlanta Hawks have acquired Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder in a two-pick deal. This move adds another rotation piece to the Hawks' roster.
What happened? The Oklahoma City Thunder are sending Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for two second-round picks. The package includes the Hawks' 2030 second-rounder and the less favorable of Atlanta's or the Los Angeles Lakers' second-round pick in 2032.
Why it matters for Atlanta Hawks Aaron Wiggins averaged 12.0 points and 3.9 rebounds during the Thunder's championship season in 2024-25. He followed that up with 9.4 points across 65 games last season while making 21 starts.
What comes next? The Hawks have clearly stayed active in reshaping their roster, adding another dependable option on the perimeter. Aaron Wiggins fits the same profile Atlanta has been chasing lately - a younger player with upside who could take on a bigger role with more opportunity.
The move trims a hefty projected luxury-tax bill and also opens up a roster spot, giving Oklahoma City a bit more breathing room as it reshapes the back end of its title-winning squad. Aaron Wiggins had been a useful part of that group, providing steady minutes off the bench and stepping into the starting lineup when needed.
