Atlanta Hawks Receive: G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would be the lone piece going to the Atlanta Hawks in this NBA trade scenario involving the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In exchange for Gilgeous-Alexander, the Hawks would send out John Collins and Kevin Huerter along with three future first-round picks. The young star guard averaged 24.5 points per game this season and continues to improve on the offensive end of the floor — making him worth a haul.
There is no doubt that Gilgeous-Alexander is a franchise player, which means the Hawks would have two in the backcourt for years to come. Standing at 6-foot-6, he’d bring a needed element of size to the backcourt alongside Young.
The Thunder would likely be able to flip Collins and Huerter in separate trades — maximizing their outlook for a top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
