The Atlanta Hawks acquired guard Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder in an NBA trade, adding a rotation scorer after his best offensive season while Oklahoma City received two future second-round draft picks.
NBA.com reported the deal from Shams Charania, with the Thunder receiving second-round picks in 2030 and 2032. The move gives Atlanta a guard who averaged 12.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 23.7 minutes across a career-high 78 games during the 2025-26 season.
Wiggins Brings Atlanta A Productive Bench Guard
Wiggins played a larger role for Oklahoma City last season and turned it into career-best production. The scoring average is the headline number, but the 78 games matter too because availability is part of the value for a team building out its regular-season rotation.
For Atlanta, this is a roster addition built around recent NBA minutes rather than projection. Wiggins arrives after playing 23.7 minutes per game for a Thunder team deep enough that useful guards can still become trade pieces.
Thunder Take Future Picks For A Rotation Piece
Oklahoma City's return is draft capital rather than immediate veteran help. The reported 2030 and 2032 second-round picks keep the Thunder stocked with future flexibility while opening a roster spot before the next wave of offseason decisions.
The deal also fits the different stages of the two rosters. Atlanta gets a guard coming off a statistical step forward, while Oklahoma City turns a depth player into picks that can be used later in trades, draft movement or roster balancing.
Wiggins gives the Hawks another playable guard, and the Thunder leave the deal with two more draft assets instead of forcing every rotation-caliber player through the same crowded minutes picture.
