The Hawks addressed center depth issues by acquiring Jock Landale, who averages career highs of 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds this season, for cash considerations.
- On Wednesday night, the Atlanta Hawks acquired Jock Landale from the Utah Jazz for cash considerations as teams maneuvered ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline.
- With Kristaps Porzingis unavailable much of the season and N'Faly Dante out for the season, the Hawks traded Vit Krejci for injured Duop Reath, who hasn't played since Jan. 18.
- Jock Landale, 30, averaged 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in 45 games, including 25 starts, for Memphis and was traded to Utah on Tuesday then to Atlanta one day later.
- Reportedly requiring league approval, the transaction came one day after an eight-player trade, a person with knowledge said.
- Given his increased role with Memphis, Landale hadn't started more than four games previously, and the broader trade included three first-round picks, the person said.
