Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Harrison Barnes, G/F Terrance Davis, 2023 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – SAC)
Sacramento Kings Receive: F/C John Collins

For each of these teams, this trade boils down to a fairly simple question: how much better is John Collins than Harrison Barnes?

The Sacramento Kings will be asking that question in order to determine their odds of making the playoffs in 2022-23. After all, they’re currently on the longest playoff drought in NBA history. Furthermore, having traded Tyrese Haliburton for Domantas Sabonis, the playoffs have become this team’s only priority.

Meanwhile, the Hawks will be trying to make the same determination, only through a different lens. They’ll be hoping this deal keeps the Sacramento Kings out of the lottery. If it does, they’re getting a first-round pick out of the exchange.

With that said, the Hawks also accomplish their goal of clearing cap space with this trade. Barnes’ contract is expiring. If the Hawks have a great season, they can resign him.
