According to Wojnarowski, the Brooklyn Nets sent over Lin and a 2025 second round pick in exchange for Isaia Cordinier from the Hawks.
In the summer of 2016, the Nets signed Lin to a 3-year, $38 million deal. For some Hawks fans, this may be a head-scratcher but general manager Travis Schlenk knows what he is doing. Taking on the expiring contract of the former Net isn’t the worst thing in the world.
As of now, Atlanta is in entering the second year of their rebuilding phase. What better way to build a young core than to add a mentor and player who knows their role?
