What happened: The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The compensation is Atlanta's 2030 second-rounder and the least favorable of the Hawks' or Lakers' picks in 2032.

Why it matters: The deal trims a guard from Oklahoma City's depth chart as the reigning contender reshapes its roster heading into the 2026-27 season. For Atlanta, adding Wiggins at a low pick cost gives the Hawks a proven role player to round out their rotation.

What to watch: Watch for the trade to become official once the second-round pick protections are finalized. Both teams' offseason moves will signal how each plans to compete in 2026-27.
