Sacramento Kings Receive: F/C John Collins
Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Harrison Barnes, F Maurice Harkless, No. 37 Overall Pick, 2023 First Round Pick (Lottery Protected)
The Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks have been linked a lot as potential trade partners. So, this hypothetical deal was put together and it is one that may surprise some people.
There has been a lot of talk about the Kings shopping the fourth overall pick in the draft. However, that selection has not been on the table when it comes to negotiations with the Hawks when it comes to John Collins.
This package was made with that in mind. The Hawks are sending Collins out west and getting Harrison Barnes and Maurice Harkless in return. Both players will help round out the wing and forward depth in Atlanta, who could have plenty more deals in the works.
The only definitive draft capital heading to Atlanta as part of the deal is the No. 37 overall pick in the upcoming 2022 NBA Draft.
