Dort Going From Thunder to Hawks, Risacher Going to Mavericks in 3-Team Trade
Oklahoma City gets three future second-round picks as Atlanta adds a top perimeter defender and Dallas lands former No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher.
- On Sunday, the Oklahoma City Thunder agreed to trade veteran forward Luguentz Dort to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal involving the Dallas Mavericks, with the Thunder receiving three future second-round picks and the Mavericks acquiring former No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher.
- Previously $11.8 million above the second apron, Oklahoma City moved to shed salary and alleviate luxury tax burdens, saving more than $82 million in tax bills and paving the way for a potential long-term extension for Cason Wallace.
- Atlanta acquired Dort and Ryan Nembhard to bolster their defense, while Dallas added Risacher, who carries a $13.8 million cap hit, utilizing their remaining room under the hard cap.
- Risacher, the 2024 top pick, joins the Mavericks after a challenging tenure in Atlanta where his scoring and rotation minutes fluctuated, with critics labeling the former No. 1 pick a significant bust.
- With more than $40 million in projected cap space next summer, the Hawks position themselves for future flexibility, while the Thunder's deal yields seven second-round picks this offseason, cementing long-term asset accumulation.
