WALTON JR. TO ATLANTA
The Atlanta Hawks acquired guard Derrick Walton Jr. and cash from the Los Angeles Clippers for a protected second-round draft pick in 2022.
What does it give the Atlanta Hawks
This deal helps the Clippers more than Atlanta, as the Hawks are essentially doing LA a favor by taking Walton Jr. off the Clippers' hands. Atlanta does get a little cash in this deal.
What does it give the Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers needed to make room on their roster for incoming players, so they moved Walton Jr. out and paid Atlanta some money in order to get a draft pick.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Walton Jr. is expected to be waived by Atlanta shortly after he is acquired.
