After a flurry of activity surrounding the 2019 NBA Draft, things appeared to be dying down, at least to some degree, for the Atlanta Hawks as free agency looms on June 30. However, the relative peace came to a crashing end on Monday afternoon, with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that the Hawks have agreed on a deal that would send veteran wing Kent Bazemore to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Evan Turner.
Bazemore is scheduled to make $19,269,662 for the 2019-20 season after exercising his lucrative player option, with Turner set to earn $18,606,556 in the final year of a (very) similar four-year deal signed in the summer of 2016.
