Hawks get: C/PF Tiago Splitter
Spurs get: Rights to Georgios Printezis, top 55 protected 2017 second-round pick (a.k.a: nothing)
This trade is just purely logical from Atlanta’s point of view: if you could give up next to nothing in exchange for filling a need, why wouldn’t you? The Hawks had a lack of depth behind PF Paul Millsap and C/PF Al Horford up front, and a quality big man like Splitter is exactly what they needed. His 2 year/$16.75 million remaining on hiscontract is fair considering the rapidly rising salary cap, and Splitter also delivered a solid 8.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in just 19.8 minutes per game with the Spurs last season. The only doubt here is if they could’ve used the money from Splitter’s contract to keep SF DeMarre Carroll from Toronto, but since we don’t know whether or not that would’ve been the case and as Atlanta did a decent job replacing Carroll, we’ll give the Hawks a pass there.
