After acquiring All-Star guard Dejounte Murray from the Spurs on Wednesday, the Hawks have made another move in an effort to strengthen their roster around Trae Young.
Former first-round pick Kevin Huerter is heading to the Kings in exchange for Justin Holiday, Mo Harkless and a future first round pick, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday. Huerter, 23, was drafted by Atlanta with the No. 19 pick in the 2018 NBA draft after two years at Maryland.
In addition to opening a starting spot in the wake of Murray’s arrival, Atlanta also cleared some cap space to sign Murray long-term while adding more defense on the wing.
