LAS VEGAS — The Hawks flipped the players acquired in two previous trades into a package to acquire veteran guard Patty Mills from the Thunder, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The team dealt Rudy Gay, who they received in the John Collins trade, as well as TyTy Washington and Usman Garuba to the Thunder. The team also sent a second-round pick as a part of the package.
Now, the team has saved roughly $4.5 million in the deal, while also clearing up some of the questions regarding roster space. In dealing three players and taking on one in return, the Hawks now have 13 players under guaranteed contracts, while adding a veteran guard to the fold.
