Why Didn’t Atlanta Hawks Trade for Frank Ntilikina?

Despite a rather insipid showing in early February before the NBA’s trade deadline, the Atlanta Hawks were widely rumored as a big mover and shaker in terms of transactions, but nothing monumental came to fruition.

The only major moves the Atlanta Hawks made were waiving Jeremy Lin and trading second-year backup guard Tyler Dorsey to the Memphis Grizzlies – in the grand scheme of things, small potatoes for the Hawks.

However, according to reporting from Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, the New York Knicks floated a trade to the Atlanta Hawks involving second-year player Frank Ntilikina.
