The Atlanta Hawks made moves ahead of this week's NBA Draft, re-signing CJ McCollum and adding backcourt depth via trade.
ESPN reports the Hawks signed McCollum to a one-year, $21 million deal to keep him out of free agency. The veteran guard proved valuable during Atlanta's 2025-26 campaign and the team wanted continuity heading into next season.
Atlanta also acquired Oklahoma City Thunder guard Aaron Wiggins, adding another versatile piece to the backcourt rotation. The trade gives the Hawks additional options as they look to build around their young core.
The moves signal the organization's intent to remain competitive while the front office continues evaluating roster construction. With the NBA Draft approaching, the Hawks now have flexibility to address remaining needs.
McCollum's experience and scoring ability complement Downtown's State Farm Arena has become a consistent destination for competitive basketball in recent seasons.
