Thunder reportedly trading Aaron Wiggins to Hawks for picks in deal that provides tax relief for OKC

The Oklahoma City are finalizing a trade to send Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for two second-round picks, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports.

Neither of the picks are in the upcoming NBA Draft that starts Tuesday. Per the report, OKC will receive Atlanta’s 2030 selection and the least favorable between the Hawks’ and the Lakers’ second-round selections in 2032. The Hawks own the rights to the Lakers’ 2032 pick.

Perhaps more importantly, the deal offers significant luxury tax relief for the Thunder. Per ESPN’s Bobby Marks the trade reduces OKC’s projected luxury tax penalty next season from $213 million to $152 million.
