I could see Atlanta liking Bobby on the merits as well as Khris as a Toni Kukoc + a sneaky way to cut longer term salary commitments.
What draft assets we’d have to deal in addition though is a huge variable.
NBA executives across the league are monitoring how the loss of Hawks rising star Jalen Johnson for the season could affect Atlanta’s decision-making ahead of the trade deadline.
There’s a growing sense that Hawks swingman Bogdan Bogdanovic could be traded ahead of the deadline, league sources told HoopsHype.
The Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, and other teams have expressed interest in trading for Bogdanovic, league sources told HoopsHype.
Bogdanovic, who was listed as “not with the team” on the injury report, is 32 and doesn’t align with Atlanta’s young core.
Despite missing nearly half of Atlanta’s games this season and struggling at times with his rhythm, some around the league believe the career 38-percent three-point shooter could be rejuvenated during the second half of the season. Bogdanovic’s contract is considered moveable. It includes $17.26 million this season, $16 million guaranteed for the 2025-26 season, and has a team option at $16 million for the 2026-27 season.
In addition to Bogdanovic, another veteran for the Hawks has drawn interest on the trade market.
Hawks center Clint Capela has drawn trade interest from multiple teams, league sources told HoopsHype. One caveat, however, is that teams reaching out on Capela are currently proposing offers with player(s) under contract beyond this season.
Furthermore, Sixth Man of the Year award candidate De’Andre Hunter has also drawn interest amid the best season of his career, league sources told HoopsHype.
Hunter discussed his career season coming off the bench, his award candidacy, how coach Quin Snyder has unlocked his potential, Atlanta’s young core going forward, Trae Young’s growth, and more in a recent HoopsHype interview.
