Atlanta will add veteran guard Aaron Wiggins to its roster after a trade with Oklahoma City. The Hawks give up two second‑round picks, including 2030’s and 2032’s least‑favorable selections, to acquire the 27‑year‑old who averaged 12.0 points per game in the Thunder’s 2025 title run. Wiggins joins a squad eyeing a deep playoff push this.

Under the deal, Oklahoma City trims its projected $213 million tax penalty to $152 million, easing financial pressure while clearing a roster spot for players like Lu Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein. Atlanta, meanwhile, adds a proven contributor who logged 6.0 points in 13.8 minutes during the Thunder’s postseason, offering depth on both ends of the floor. $21 million

Atlanta also inked a one‑year, $21 million extension with guard CJ McCollum, securing a key scorer for the season. The move follows the acquisition of Nickeil Alexander‑Walker, who averaged 20.8 points last year, and Jonathan Kuminga, who posted 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in 23.1 minutes. These additions sharpen the Hawks’ rotation for a title run this season.

With the trade, the Hawks acquire a player who can stretch the floor and defend multiple positions, fitting the team’s high‑tempo style. Oklahoma City gains a cleaner salary cap space and a future draft advantage. The exchange signals Atlanta’s intent to compete immediately while Oklahoma City rebuilds with younger talent and reduced financial burden today.
