Dort Deal Elevates Hawks, Reconfigures Three‑Team Trade

Oklahoma City trades Lu Dort to Atlanta and sends Ryan Nembhard to the Hawks, while Dallas lands Zaccharie Risacher and the Thunder receive three future second‑round picks. The move bolsters Atlanta’s defense by adding Dort alongside Daniels and Walker and gives Dort a potential extension window, while OKC clears cap space but loses fan-favorite depth; Risacher gets a fresh start in Dallas as each side pursues its financial and competitive goals.

Three-team swap lands Dort in Atlanta; Risacher heads to Dallas

A three-team deal sends Lu Dort from Oklahoma City to Atlanta, Zaccharie Risacher from Atlanta to Dallas, and multiple future second-round picks to the Thunder. OKC trims expensive contracts and clears second-apron risk, Atlanta bolsters its wing depth and cap flexibility, and Dallas takes a buy-low swing on a former No. 1 pick with upside. The piece grades the moves as solid for OKC, practical for Atlanta, and a low-risk, high-reward bet for Dallas.

Hawks Move On From Top Pick Risacher in Three‑Team Swap for Lu Dort

The Atlanta Hawks traded No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks in a three‑team deal that also sent Lu Dort from Oklahoma City to Atlanta and two future second‑round picks to OKC, with Dallas also adding guard Ryan Nembhard.

Three‑Team Swap Sends Dort to Hawks as OKC Trims Payroll

Three‑Team Swap Sends Dort to Hawks as OKC Trims Payroll

In a three‑team deal, the Thunder send Lu Dort to Atlanta and Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas, while acquiring three future second‑round picks to slash payroll and avoid the luxury‑tax second apron. Atlanta lands Dort and guard Ryan Nembhard, Dallas receives Risacher, and OKC picks up the Bulls’ 2027 second plus two Hawks seconds (2031, 2032) to maintain future flexibility. The moves are widely graded as favorable for OKC (A) and Atlanta (A), with Dallas getting a low‑cost upside bet (B). Dort’s lockdown perimeter defense and his expiring contract were central to Atlanta’s appeal, while OKC’s aim is long‑term asset preservation as it navigates the second apron.

In a three-team trade reported by Shams Charania, the Atlanta Hawks ship Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks while receiving forward Luguentz Dort from Oklahoma City and guard Ryan Nembhard; the deal also sends two second-round picks to OKC, and follows Risacher’s modest 2025-26 season after winning the 2024 lottery, reshaping Atlanta’s roster with Dort’s defense and Nembhard’s backcourt versatility.

Three-team swap sends Dort to Hawks and Risacher to Mavericks

Three-team deal sends Luguentz Dort to the Atlanta Hawks, Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks, and Ryan Nembhard to Atlanta; OKC will receive Chicago’s 2027 second-round pick and two favorable 2031/2032 seconds and create a $17.7M trade exception to stay under the second tax apron, while Dort provides defensive versatility for Atlanta, Risacher adds upside for Dallas via their traded-player exception, and Nembhard supplies guard depth for Atlanta.

Hawks float Kuminga–Lakers sign-and-trade for Vanderbilt swap

Hawks float Kuminga–Lakers sign-and-trade for Vanderbilt swap

Atlanta is reportedly willing to facilitate a sign-and-trade that would send Jonathan Kuminga to the Lakers in exchange for Jarred Vanderbilt and the Lakers’ 2032 first-round pick swap. The Hawks would gain assets while avoiding Kuminga’s option, and the Lakers would evaluate the deal’s value and potentially move Vanderbilt to create cap flexibility, given their tight roster and limited draft capital. Kuminga averaged 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season with 33.3% from three, leaving room for a potentially improved deal if numbers align.

Veesaar starred at UNC in 2025-26, averaging 17.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, earning All-ACC Second Team honors and a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year finalist nod, with notable shooting efficiency and 15 double-doubles.

Thunder Swap Aaron Wiggins for Hawks' Draft Capital

Thunder Swap Aaron Wiggins for Hawks' Draft Capital

The Oklahoma City Thunder are trading Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks — the Hawks’ 2030 second-round pick and the less favorable of the Hawks’ or Lakers’ 2032 second-round picks — to ease a roster squeeze and reduce the Thunder’s tax bill. Wiggins, 27, was the 55th pick in 2021 and had a career-best 12.0 PPG during OKC’s 2024-25 season, though his role diminished in 2025-26. He’s on a five-year, $45M contract with $9M next season, $8.2M in 2027-28, and a team option at $8.2M in 2028-29. Atlanta can use an $11M trade exception to fit the salary, and the deal could close after July 6. The move adds wing/guard depth for Atlanta and lowers OKC’s projected tax from about $213M to $152M, with OKC still weighing options on Hartenstein, Dort, and Williams.
