The Atlanta Hawks were exceptionally active in the days before the 2020 NBA trade deadline, and they’ve continued to be in the hours before the final buzzer. On Thursday afternoon, Atlanta reportedly executed a deal to take Derrick Walton Jr. from the Clippers, with the Hawks — expected to move on from Walton — receiving cash to make the transaction worthwhile. Moments later, another interesting move came down the pike, with the Hawks reportedly making a swap to bring Skal Labissiere to Atlanta.
