The Atlanta Hawks continue to strengthen on the inside. After the recent arrival of Clint Chapel From the Houston Rockets, the Georgia franchise has just got their hands on Skal Labissiere! According to information from ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, the 23-year-old was sent by the Portland Trail Blazers with money. And for his part, insider Chris Haynes said that Atlanta had recovered $ 2 million for the former player of the Sacramento Kings.

A rather interesting move for Atlanta on paper. Despite a limited playing time with the Blazers (17 minutes on average), Labissiere can clearly provide services out of the bench. In Oregon, for example, he was averaging 5.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists. In any case, the Hawks have everything to gain from this trade. With of course the money but also a Skal Labissiere which could have an interesting role to play in the rotation of Lloyd Pierce.
