On Tuesday night, a three-team sign-and-trade was finalized for the Denver Nuggets to send Danilo Gallinari to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Atlanta Hawks played the role of cap relief partner in this endeavor. They were rewarded with a first round pick—getting rerouted to Atlanta from Los Angeles by way of Houston—and former Maryland basketball star Diamond Stone. Jamal Crawford was also included in the deal, but he's expected to be bought out for the opportunity to seek a late career payday elsewhere.
Stone will still play in the Vegas Summer League, except now he’ll suit up for the Hawks.
